I live in Bath, which is not far from Bristol and people still thank bus drivers in this area, I think that Londoners don't do it because buses in London have a back door so you don't go past the driver
That is a bus journey I have done so many times. Great to see the railway journey. And Geoff.
So great you were able to take advantage of the new LBCDS. (London Boy Coffee Delivery Service)

Or….is it the London Boy COSTA Delivery Service? 🤣
Another epic race Nice to see London Boy join in the fun
At last, a use for Geoff 😂. Seriously though you didn't stand a chance, Temple Meads is too far from the centre and the train goes the long way there!

I was watching the video and this was in the comments I could see😢
Lovely to see Geoff join in the fun.
I'm happy to see a Geoff Marshall, happy trainboy
Shame about the loss but still. It was goose to finally say Alo to you at Portway Park & Ride
what a brilliant race from Portway P & R to Bristol city centre i really enjoyed watching this awesome vlog & congrats to the winner
Thank you for visiting my neck of the woods!! Bristol is reportedly to have been built on 7 hills (like Rome).Having been born in the city & lived here most of my life - it is certainly a hilly city ! You were lucky as traffic is generally slow & bad all day every day.Good thing it was August!!!!!! Great video.Sorry about the result,Jen ! Many thanks & take care.
I have to say this has been the most entertainig video from Portway Park & Ride.
Excellent video and great fun to watch
that bus route appears to have some nice views!
A brilliant race with quite a close result, I think trains should beat buses lol. XD
This feels like something straight out of the Titfield Thunderbolt 😂 Love it :)
My favorite Lads and Ladies in a race! It's such a great day 👌 Keep it up Jen these videos have been lovely
That was great fun and the tension!!!
Loving these installments of Jen and friends, very enjoyable video as always! Impressive running for being up so early, too!
really enjoyed this video! Can't believe the bus beat the train! (Bristol buses are an experience...) and everything in Bristol is up a hill at some point!!
Couldn't have been any closer. Well done to everyone for participating.
Wonderful! 🎉
That was a great race but not happy on the result 😂 (just kidding)
A perfect demonstration of why I don't think Portway station should've been built: it doesn't save time even for a journey to the far side of the city centre, & it jeopardises the 15-minute interval between passing loops that's needed for a regular half-hourly suburban service.
I miss Bristol. ^^ this was a fun race to watch. I hope to be able to ride the Portishead train in a few years!

And I'll probably be there on the first one!
I love this! Jen, I always love your journeys, but you brought the North with you this time. I used to commute on the Severn Beach Line in the very early naughties from Redland or Montpelier and then on to Swindon via TM and it creaked. Well done FOSBR and for all your campaigning over the years. Now let's get bloody Portishead reopened!!! However, point of order - you should have met on Bristol Bridge - for that is where the name BrigStowe / Bristol originates!
It looks like this was done during school holidays, had it been a school day we'd still be waiting for the bus to turn up!
I love these types of videos. The whole reason I’m interested in trains it’s because my dad is a train driver.
Another epic race! Really enjoyed the video

And you got the live view of the start! 🤣
When I'm working in Bristol, Portway P&R to Castle Bridge is part of my commute - but I also used to commute on the Severn Beach line, so I knew there was no way the train would win. Team Bus would have had an even bigger lead if they'd got off at The Centre and walked from there!
Thanks to London boy for the coffee!
An amazing race! It's fun trying to see me in as many videos of Portway Park and Ride as possible 😂 (Leonard if you remember!)
Repeat this once the schools go back. But bus vs car vs train
Hills :) I grew up in Bristol, you guys were in the flat bit :) You should go visit Vale Street, just near the main station.
Really thought you had this won Jen, especially when they had got off at the wrong stop. Very entertaining as always 😊
Great race, even better video, thanks for it! How much was the actual difference between Bryn's team and you?
I love your videos
Great fun 😀 and great dramatic editing too!
unfortunately the line to portwey park and ride is a slow line that stops everywhere until the infrastructure is upgraded and the line doubled the bus will always win - istr the park and ride bus also stops at temple gate which is walking distance to temple meads.
Instead of having to dash off to Gloucester, that's the shift I should've done! 😂

Shame you couldn't slow down the bus for us 🤣
Pretty close but not surprising as the train goes quite a long way round compared to the bus. The train is better if you want to go to Clifton or the north end of town like Cheltenham Road though. Good to see a new station (and not the only one) in Bristol, it deserves its own metro really, especially to the airport.

There was a plan for an underground for the Bristol (and Bath) area in.... drumroll please.... 1975! (Which is roughly when Bristol got rid of it's accidental colony of Australian trapdoor spiders - don't worry, it's poisonous effect was extreme discomfort, not death - that it procured from ships in the 1930's.)

@@robertwilloughby8050 Apparently there's been plans in Bristol for an underground (and even a tram system) of all sorts ever since then as well but the different authorities could never work together for some reason, I guess that's why we have Metrobus today but it's not enough if the city wants to futureproof itself. Interesting hearing about the spiders though.
Seeing quite a bit of Geoff lately lol

Hi Jen and creew, Yet another brilliant watch, never ceases to be entertaining, well done to all who took part, even Geoff...😄 Take care, Jon B.
8:22 you would have trained.. But you took the bus! ;)
Why not do the same with Reading Green Park, Thanet Parkway and Marsh Barton. That those railway stations opened this year.
Not been to Bristol in sufficiently long that I didn't realise they'd actually built that bridge by now and was thinking of the Bristol Bridge instead for most of the race until it popped up. That did mean I was confused why they didn't just get off the bus at the Hippodrome and walk down Baldwin St mind, suspect it would still have been quicker.
tico in the background lol
I wish it was Portway Parkway 😂
Hi I'm Darren I've been watching you for 3 weeks now I fund you very much interesting and you seem a very nice person I do like you jen very much and enjoy seeing ya video s I really do love to meet you and have a chat 😊😊
Was that as close as it looked on video and what was the time between one and the outher arrival
I hope your asses feel better after taking the bus all the way, it is very bumpy.
Would rather go by train though!
Hi Jen, Sorry, have you won any of these races? :-)
Jen, since I’ve started watching your channel, you’ve not won a single race! Is this my fault? 😂
You should have gone into Left Handed Giant more friendly than Costa
It's not a Tram.
To be honest the train should have won
9:08 How? Well, you were beaten by the superior Gold MMC, therefore et ergo, bus is better lol
Trains Station 🚉
Why bother making this station when the bus is this much quicker?
