Local hot air balloon team looking for crew
bradleystokejournal.co.uk
By local ballooning enthusiast Paul Mackley. With the warm weather we saw briefly over Easter hopefully set to return, it will soon be that time of year when the city of Bristol’s skies start to fill with hot air balloons. But did you know there are some balloons based a little closer to home?An update on the impact that next week's planned overnight closures of Bradley Stoke Way will have on the M1 MetroBus service.Bradley Stoke Way - evening closures next week
Next week, part of Bradley Stoke Way will be closed during the evenings for resurfacing works. The closure time will be from 20:00 until the end of service each day.
The m1 won't be able to serve the stops at Patchway Brook or Willow Brook, and will divert both ways via Brook Way and Savages Wood Road.
m1 buses will instead stop at the bus stops along the diversion route, and also at the 'Savages Wood Roundabout' stops. (These are the ones the other side of the roundabout to the normal Willow Brook stops.)
The original date for these works was Tuesday 28th - Thursday 30th, however we have now been informed that the road will be closed on the evening of Monday 27th as well.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
TRAVEL TIP: Going to see Take That, Muse or The Spice Girls at Ashton Gate Stadium? Then consider taking the M1 MetroBus, suggests Journal reader Steve Norton.
Plan your end-to-end trip using the Travelwest Journey Planner: journeyplanner.travelwest.info/
Metrobus was an awesome solution for getting home from an even more awesome concert. Rod Stewart at Ashton Gate. It took ages to get off the pitch, then just 15 minute walk, passed thousands queuing or crowding on the prebooked P&R services, passed solid traffic going to Sainsbury pick up or taxi point to the M1 stop at Parson Street rail station.
Only a few people were waiting, bus arrived in 3 mins and home to Bradley Stoke in 40.
Getting to the stadium was easy as well. You can opt for the 15 min downhill stroll from the M1 stop at the top of West street. Or change in town for the 24, but get it at Cabot Circus South stop (near the Marriott), it gets pretty crowded by the time it gets to Redcliffe Hill. 24 drops off 3 mins from the stadium
Just two weeks to go until the Bradley Stoke Community Festival weekend (Friday 7th to Sunday 9th June).
