From memory it’s a trek to Bristol parkway I see there is a 2246 train back to South Wales is this doable? |  | | |  |

Taxi yes.
Did that walk first in 1980. Went in the wrong end. Oops. |  |

22.20 from Parson Street is your best bet. Change temple meads and Newport. Eta swansea 00.46.
But Parson Street could well be rammed. |  | | |

Did Parson Street in 2019 0-0 match season, from memory 20 minute walk from Ashton gate but wasn’t too busy when we used it - didn’t wear colours mind. |  | | |

Double check the times for the trains. Sorry I forgot there is work taking place at temple meads and there may be disruption on the weekend.
Its about an 8 mile walk to parkway. Uber would be your best bet if you are coming back from Parkway as they are quite cheap in Bristol, if you can get one. | | | |

Yep, for those not familiar with Bristol - Temple Meads is walkable (but is a good 2 miles). Parkway - taxi only - it's miles away. Parsons St. - never used that station. You may be able to get a bus from close by to TM but Bristol bus services are rubbish and extortionate. |  | | |

I don’t think anyone has ever walked from Ashton Gate to Bristol Parkway after a match? I think you are thinking of the walk back to Bristol Temple Meads which is indeed a trek.
If there is enough of you, you never know they put on a special back to Swansea? |  |

They walked us from Parkway in 81 trust me mate. It took 2 hours.
I’m certain they’ve done it since too.

You’d think the authorities would sort a train.
It’s either drive for me or watch the game in the house.
If anyone has any space on a bus or minibus drop me a PM 👠| | | |

We didn’t play Bristol City away in 1981. We did play Bristol Rovers?
I would be very, very surprised if the police marched Swansea fans 2 hours and 30 minutes (and that’s at a brisk pace) from Ashton Gate to Bristol Parkway. They would have passed about 5 stations. The police normally take you to Temple Meads after a game v City. | |

Parkway is nowhere near Ashton Gate...that’s like police walking people from Neath train station to the Liberty! |  |

I meant 1980, as I mentioned on the second post on this thread. And I remain insistent it was Parkway to Ashton Gate.

It’s no issue, I recall it only because of the time it took, it was a football special from Swansea, cost a fiver. I’m sure others around will recall the game, Leighton James scored the winner, thousands of swans fans there. | |

I've no memory if the game itself though I was there. I'd travelled down from London and was walking to the game (no idea where I was) and a Swansea supporters' double decker passed me and gave me all sorts of abuse until I showed my scarf. They let me on board and I travelled in with them. No idea how I got back to London, it was all too long ago! |  |

Last 2 times I’ve been to Bristol they’ve put a non stop special on to Swansea after the game. | |

I'm struggling to even work out which way they took you? Don't think the M32 was even built back then so I guess through town then up the Gloucester Road?? You'd have walked past my cricket ground (0.4m from Parkway) although I don't know if that was there in 1980 either  | | | |
