Parson Street station is closer to the ground but services are infrequent to and from this station. Click here for train times and prices - please ensure you check times before travelling.

BUSES FROM STATION:
Buses are provided by the Abus 'Service A' which costs a flat rate of 50p. The buses pick up one hour before kick off from the following places - Temple Meads, Old Market (Temple Way), Haymarket, Centre, Anchor Road, Hotwells. The buses return to all those destinations after the game, leaving from Ashton Road by the Greville Smyth Park.

PARKING: Very little in the way of parking as it is for permit holders only around the ground. It would be recommended to get to the ground and drive outwards from there, looking for some on-street parking as you do so.

AWAY END: The Micra Wedlock Stand houses 5,500 spectators - this is shared with home fans and Hornets the have the area to the right of the goal as you look at the stand. The ground has fantastic acoustics so expect a great atmosphere.

RESTAURANTS: North Street is where you are most likely to find some reasonable food, however The Pumphouse serves a decent meal.

PUBS: The Pumphouse and the Nova Scotia are recommended for away supporters by the waterfront. Avoid The Wedlocks, The Rising Sun and The Coopers Arms.
