    I remember when taking the Megabus was just a big no-no - they had such a bad reputation for being…read morecompletely 100% late, usually by an hour up to an hour and a half. For this reason, I only ever took it once and never again for a few years. However I had to get to London a week ago for an impromptu trip, and trains were just mighty expensive, so I decided to pay £7.50 for a megabus ride. Not looking forward to it at all, I went to the bus stop and waited.. and was pleasantly surprised that the bus was actually 10 minutes early! Also surprising was the chirpy, friendly driver and the bus itself, which seemed much cleaner than what I had remembered. Prices are usually cheaper than the £7.50 I paid if you book earlier than I did. If you do it at the right time, you can get them for a pound, which you won't get anywhere else! The ride to London was 2.5 hours, an hour more than the train. Another surprise, was that we got there on time! My bus trip was either a fluke, or Megabus has really upped their game and are providing a more reliable service these days. Pretty good value, if you ask me!

    I know this is a bit of a standing joke, but if you tell your inner snob to shut up for a moment,…read moreit can't be denied that the Megabus is an absolute bargain. Now that the Megatrain is sadly no longer with us, from Bristol this just services south Wales (which I haven't tried) and London. I'm not sure if the bargain prices are still as easy obtain as they once were, but if you book early enough this is a great way to get to the capital (my wife and I once got there for a total price of £4.50 - £1 single each way plus a 50p booking charge!). I've used it about twice and both times it was on time both ways and in fact turned up well within the three hour it claims it will take (it actually takes around 2hrs 20 which isn't far off the train time). The buses go from outside the Colston Hall, though I'm sure I heard recently that they no longer pick up in Easton so you may need to check this. One other thing, National Express have started doing 'fun fares' in response, which can be just as cheap, so be sure to double-check their prices too before you book.

    First Great Western - A First Great Western Train at Bristol Temple Meads Station

    First Great Western

    First Great Western trains run throughout the West of England to primarily London. Historically,…read moreFirst Great Western hasn't been very good on the customer satisfaction list, but in the recent years they have dramatically improved their services to near perfection. In my experience, they have never been late or cancelled and have almost always arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule (which is always handy so you can grab an unexpected cup of coffee!). The trains themselves are of a very high standard. Each seat is full length (unlike First Capital Connect) and the floor has carpet on it which is a pleasant luxury. There is no chewing gum stuck to the seats, or graffiti etched onto the tables. Everything is almost spotlessly clean. In fact sometimes I wonder if I am in First Class, it is that nice! There is quite a large buffet on most of the trains (most definitely the ones headed to London Paddington) which although isn't cheap, certainly is no more expensive than the stands at the train stations. Most, if not all of the staff are friendly and very helpful. One down side I would say is that I find it hard to open the doors as you have to reach outside the window and open them from the exterior of the train which (if you are on the short side like me) is pretty difficult. There is also a large gap from the train to most platforms which again is difficult especially if you have a lot of luggage. However, I have found on many occasions that the train staff rush to help you if you are struggling which I think is great. There are toilets on board and are almost always clean, however no toilet on a train is perfect really! On board travel magazines are provided free of charge and also an emergency exit information booklet is on every seat (it almost feels like an aeroplane!). A word of warning though - if your ticket is booked in advance you MUST get on that exact train which is stated on your ticket. If you miss it, or hop on an earlier train you are fined a lot of money. Also, I have heard that if you sit in a seat already reserved then a £20 fine is given to you. Price wise, First Great Western trains are very reasonable if booked in advance online through their website. A single from Bristol Temple Meads to Gatwick Airport off peak with a Young Persons Railcard is £7.60 which is very cheap for the distance travelled. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend First Great Western, primarily for the fast, cheap and reliable service.

    First Great Western is a close second to Virgin in my ranking of trains that trawl up and down our…read morecountries Railways lines. And number three is a long long way behind. It is one of the few services that you can guarantee will be fast and professional every time you take it. That does not mean to say that i like the trains in this country in general, just that i think relatively First Great Western is one of the best!

    The other reviewers on here have summed up city car club, what it is and how it works, so I won't…read morecover that again. So..hi..I'm Richard, I've been a member of the club for over a year and i've found it fantastic for short to medium hires. Calling it a 'club' is a winning tactic it makes you feel like you're a member of some secret society. Anyway, I digress, i've used city cars for everything from the odd trip to IKEA, or to the supermarket to get a 24 pack of beers home, to hiring the vans to move house. I've also booked cars for 24 hours on a couple of occasions for a wedding and a day trip. I won't go into costs as they're likely to change, so you can do that yourself by looking at their website. But for anything longer than 24 hours using normal car hire tends to work out cheaper. I pay an extra £5 a month to bring the insurance excess down to £100. Which means that if I were to damage a car (which so far I haven't) then I won't be forking out hundreds. For me it takes some of the worry out of negotiating Bristol's congested streets. Now if you're anything like me (a bit of a car fan) then you'll like the fact that you've got the opportunity to 'test drive' a whole bunch of different cars. You're not going to find an Alfa Romeo 8c on the list, but i've had fun whizzing around in the brand new fiestas and experiencing the strange silent gliding sensation of a Hybrid Prius as it accelerates. I have no hesitation in giving city car club the thumbs up. Friendly customer services too. Had to call late at night once 'cause I couldn't get the key to turn in the ignition; steering lock was on..duh!

    Have you heard of these guys? No? Well if you are old enough, have qualified and have been so for…read moreat least two years then you will be eligible to drive a car from the City Car Club. With locations throughout the city, I was able to try out the car situated on Chessel Street with my firends who live just minutes around the corner. This business idea is great. All you have to do is register line and they send you a card. This card then unlocks any of their cars and lets you in where you wil fin the keys and you can drive off, anywhere you want for £5 an hour - including insuarance. You have to pay extra per mile, but if you need it for a little run about to the shops and back and can't afford all the exspense of having your own car then this really is the next best thing!! Its brill!
