GETTING TO THE GATE
CLEAN AIR ZONE - NOW LIVE
Bristol’s Clean Air Zone (CAZ) is now live and fans are encouraged to check whether they will be affected.
Non-compliant vehicles will be charged between £9 and £100 per day to drive through the zone in central Bristol.
Although Ashton Gate itself sits just outside of the zone, some roads near the stadium are within it and thus we encourage fans to carefully plan their journey.
Full details on the CAZ including maps, schedule of charges and a vehicle compliance checker can be found at www.cleanairforbristol.org/caz/.
The AG1, AG2 and AG3 will all operate between 1730 and 1930, with travel from £1 return.
- AG1 Portway Park & Ride (via Portway) – approx. every 20 minutes
- AG2 Brislington Park & Ride (direct service) – approx. every 30 minutes
- AG3 Temple Meads (via Broadmead and the centre) – approx. every 20 minutes
All services drop-off and collect from Winterstoke Road, outside Ashton Gate. Full details including route maps, timetables, pricing and ticket information is available at www.bcfc.co.uk/travel. Last post-match departures at 23:30.
