FoSBR has launched a new campaign to increase the frequency of local train services in the Bristol area to four trains per hour:
FoSBR sees MetroWest as the core of an integrated transport network for Bristol, Bath and the West of England. But to achieve this, we need a turn-up-and-go service. This means a train every 15 minutes.
During FoSBR’s January 2021 AGM, members voted for this resolution:
“Although MetroWest is bringing much-needed and long-awaited train frequency improvements, FoSBR seeks a 15-minute frequency train service to all Bristol stations for a true metro-style service”.
[...]
The wording “all Bristol stations” has been left deliberately loose. Some stations will benefit from a 15-minute service before others achieve the 30-minute service. In the longer term we believe there will be sufficient demand to justify a 15-minute service to most stations across the West of England Combined Authority (WECA) area.
