Bristol Park and Ride

Hi, I'm planning on taking DS into Bristol tomorrow but we've not been before and I am struggling to make sense out of the travel options! I think we will park and ride as it will break the journey up and he will enjoy the bus, but I want to make it as simple as possible (SEN to contend with so waiting around for me to read signs etc doesn't go down very well 🥴). I can't decide whether I should use Lyde Green or Yate - its hard to find info on how frequent buses are/length of journey. Lyde Green will take us about 10 min longer to get to in the car, but I think it looks like the buses are more regular? This will be especially useful on the way home as it's likely DS will be struggling by then so waiting around for a bus could be tricky.

Has anyone used either/both? I'd really appreciate any tips or advice on which would be better! Thanks x

Looking on the map Yate is further away than Lyde Green. So I would imagine Lyde Green to be more regular.

@10ThousandSpoons Thank you - I've spent all evening pouring over that website clicking on different route maps, timetables and info about the various park and rides and I'm still not really sure how long the journey takes from each - Lyde Green looks to be slightly closer but if the buses stop at more places it could still be a longer journey!

Sorry I know you're ideally wanting someone who has used the service to answer but just in case did you also see this journey planner?

@10ThousandSpoons thanks - I hadn't seen that. It seems to confirm that the journey is slightly quicker from Lyde Green so we'll probably go for that. Just hoping we both survive the day out 😆😳
