BTRFTG Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Give me bridge delays any day. For some of us the 112 mile journey home topped out at 190 miles, two sections of the M4 eastbound closed, pretty much the whole of the M25 South, anticlockwise closed (all for roadworks so forget A303 or route via Bracknell) forcing all traffic from the West to use the clockwise M25 North and M11 to get to South East London. Guess what, that resulted in accidents. Highways England my ****..... 1 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given they’re not allowed to have bridges swings at peak hours how is this different It's the fault of AFC Bournemouth! It was their fault in 1955 when on Easter Monday at about 2pm, the old little bridge by the Pump House and Nova Scotia pubs, was swung to welcome several large cargo ships to pass into the dock. The larger swing bridge did not exist then Many of the Bristol and South Glos special buses were held up in the queue that went all the way to Whiteladies Road. Crowd that day was over 33,000 as a 0-0 draw took City a bit closer to the Third (South) title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Stone Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The only bit of entertainment that put a smile on my face yesterday was at 5.10 last night by the old try again pub. Two rather over confident Bournemouth fans had the smile taken from their faces when they saw the present left on their windscreen.

Assuming they are giving tickets to people illegally parked, what’s the issue? Perhaps everybody should be allowed to do what they want - that would make a better world!

Red DNA Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 7 hours ago, Redandproud said: This is Bristol City Council for you, major disruption for traffic after a city game, As much as we like to slag off the Council for traffic congestion I think this was more to do with the tide times than them. Even taking that into account there must be a reasonable window of opportunity for craft to get through the lock gates in enough time to let the crowd / traffic disperse for 30mins after the game? The harbour master (who’s already had some grief this week from a visiting skipper) must also be answerable for not being aware of a big crowd in the immediate vicinity of the harbour area and try to avoid the conflict, or maybe he’s a Gashead!

Still back to the P&R at a reasonable time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion the ouncill have made it harder to park around the gate with parking zones yellow lines etc unless you travel by bus your stumped ive heard many say with all the hassell parking I can't be bothered to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonboy Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I only witnessed police booking cars, not the council. The only cars being booked deserved to be towed. Smythe Road junction was unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asfred Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Yeah that junction was a nightmare, cars just abandoned. The council will shortly be putting double yellow lines around that coroner, and a number of other corners throughout Ashton, which will mean even few places to park, but will stop the sort of congestion seen on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't made it any easier, that's for sure. But if you live round there you probably appreciate the fact you can rent out your driveway for a few quid and park your car on the street!
