CfN can you let us know any more about the arrangements for the tickets.
Sorry, no I couldn't - but fortunately the excellent Ollie has provided the answer!  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Looks like we'll be a disparate bunch from the Coffee Shop turning up at different points during the day. I'd therefore suggest that Coffee Shop members look to pop in and out of Bonaparte's on Platform 3 to hopefully meet other forum members. Walk in carrying an FGW▸ timetable, or shamelessly ask, "Is anyone from the Coffee Shop here?" My plans for the day are now fixed so look out for the mug on the right in this picture:  You may also spot the 'mug' on the left. That's grahame, this forum's head honcho!    Edit note: I've now added a picture of myself to this post - simply to give you all fair warning of who to look out for / avoid, as appropriate. Chris from Nailsea. |

I am currently unsure whether I can actually get to Bristol on that date. If I cannot, I'll send my ticket onto you. There do not appear to be any terms suggesting this is not permitted. |

Appreciated Brucey. I've emailed Vicky at FGW▸ Comms to see whether there is room for just one more on either of the later services.
It's not the end of the world though, I've bashed both the Henbury loop and line to Portbury stop board before on a HST▸ special.
I'll still be present through the day at Temple Meads for all the other Community Rail festivities as well as likely propping up the bar in Bonapartes!

Annoying.
The blurb mentioned Portbury...nowhere else. Seems as though I'm off to nowhere else. Wanted Portbury - on 1108.....

I've just been back in to try to book another time. All tickets are gone. If anyone else has a ticket they don't want, PM me and let me know. I live near Temple Meads, so any time will do. Bribery cannot be ruled out. |

Four Track, Now! - you have a PM. I was successful in obtaining one ticket for the 15:12 - my e-mail from FGW▸ says "I^m writing to confirm that you^ve been successful in your bid for tickets on the 15.12 service from Bristol Temple Meads along the Portbury Branch, departing from Platform 8." However, if that particular excursion is also not actually going to Portbury, according to the timings posted by Brucey, then I don't really want to use it. It's offered free to anyone who would like it: please post here if you're interested! CfN.  |

I'll have it please! Going somewhere is better than nowhere, I think. And a Portbury ticket might still be offered
