For anyone not familiar with this, Bristol Airport wanted to build a covered walkway from the TERMINAL to a remote aircraft stands, to thus reduce the need for transporting passengers via a CO2 emitting bus.

Agree wholeheartedly. On it's own it won't mean one extra flight, but will reduce pollution and make passengers' journeys easier by eliminating the need to bus people to the stands.

Does anybody know where I can find a timetable for the Bristol Airport Coach between Bristol Airport and Bristol Bus Station for Boxing Day??

I've checked the Bristol Airport website and it appears that services are indeed running on Boxing Day, but as a limited service. But it doesn't list the amended timetable. :o ::)

Could someone please point me in the right direction to find the timetable??

Ta,

TT

Try this (http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/southwest/bristol/timetables/timetable.php?day=3&source_id=2&service=A1&routeid=1797911&operator=3&source=sp), on the First Bus website.

Chris.  ;)

Seems a little pointless for the Airport Flyer to be serving Temple Meads on Boxing Day!

No trains, no local buses and I'd imagine very few taxis.

Probably simpler for First to just run their normal 'Sunday, etc.' Airport Flyer timetable this Boxing Day (which happens also to be a Sunday!) than to draw up a whole new one - for just one day of the year?

Thank you Gents ;) Looks like I could be in for a bit of a wait if my flight is ever so slightly late... ::) :D :o
