It is estimated that about 20 million people a year will visit the centre , which is due to open in autumn 2008.

City council officers are currently investigating the idea of a park and ride from Frenchay and down the M32 motorway into the city centre.

However , it is believed that the service will not be ready in time for next year's opening of Cabot Circus.

Mark Bradshaw , the city council's new head of transport , said there was "a lengthy exercise to go through" before a permanent site was set up.

But he hinted that arrangements similar to those operated by First last Christmas , when a bus ran from the UWE campus to Broadmead every 15 minutes , could eventually provide the basis of the new service.
