Means that a single journey on the 8/9 from Bristol Temple Meads to the "Clifton/Redland Fare Zone" will now cost ^1.70 as oppose to ^1.50 (or 75p with railcard) on the train. I know which one I'll be choosing :D No mention of the price for PlusBus tickets changing and also no mention of the prices for the FirstTen Student ticket (which I use often). Whilst we're on the subject, does anyone know the exact conditions of "Bristol Buslink"? NFM05 quotes ^1.25 as a single ticket from Bristol Temple Meads to Bristol Buslink (L125). I asked at the bus station a few months ago and she thought it was a single journey on the 8/9, as far as College Green. She wasn't very sure and offered to find out, but I was in a rush so couldn't wait. Apparently the details are in the Rail Connections Manual, if anyone has a copy of this?
