Don't think so - it's not specifically rail-related, but more an overall view of the area, what to see, where to stay, etc. yes, and how to get there, but covers most transport

VisitEngland, I think produced this pamphlet.

I'll bring some with me to the AGM (Annual General Meeting) tomorrow.

Thank you

Along those lines, though, First West of England do operate the 7XP .... Bristol, Chepstow, Newport
https://bustimes.org/services/7xp-bristol-cribbs-causeway-newport

From another source - a suggestion that the Severn Express and also the X5 from Weston to Cribbs Causeway via Clevedon and Portishead will transfer from First to Stagecoach on 1st September.

Can anyone confirm?

Does that mean that Great West Way Discoverer tickets will no longer be accepted on these route?

Have any of our members used these tickets yet (on these of other routes?)
