Just caught a train from Parkway and can confirm that there is a poster up near the ticket office advising football supporters that there will be a replacement bus service on Saturday between Parkway and Swindon. It also points out that no alcohol will be allowed on the buses.  I understand that it is due to re-signalling in the Filton area over the bank holiday weekend and will affect trains using the Severn Tunnel and the line between Parkway and Temple Meads. Trains from London to Wales are being diverted via Gloucester on a reduced service but trains from London to Tenple Meads are unaffected.  |

guys you need some aid here. I went to school in Bristol, but after wandering to Scotland and Germany...I'm now in a village just outside Swindon. Lucky me huh. Actually, the village is lovely, Swindon very err functional and plenty of employment, but my reason for coming onto Gaschat is that you lack local nous. Free parking available (for 3 hours) at Tesco (Ocotal Way), just behind the ground. St Josephs secondary school also offers parking (money all goes to maintaining the school), and the best multi storey car park in central Swindon is at Spring Gardens (next door to the dole office). Drink in The Merlin and you won't go far wrong... the the local Gendarmes may opt to herd you off to the Queens Tap though. Quality Chippie on the magic roundabout. Anything else... just ask.
