Yet another option to consider is jumping on the train to the SVB line, if timings permit, and alight at Clifton Down station. Then it's just a 10 minute walk down Whiteladies Road to the main campus sites.


You forgot to add that the walk from Clifton Down to the main Uni campuss is the downhill part  Wink

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

I notice that the picture on this webpage is of a class of train that has never been anywhere near Bristol.

Hover your mouse over the pic. 'image of a train'. No sh*t Sherlock. University education? Pah!

I noticed this too.  I'm not even sure where that photo was taken but it is almost certainly a Southeastern train!

Well that was an epic journey! Cancellations on both legs of the journey and Bus driver telling me the university was 3 stops on whilst right outside it.

XC (Cross Country Trains (franchise)) will be hearing from me.......
