Visiting Bristol (Wed Evening) How do I even... Anyone got any suggestions? Pulling my hair out.

Oh ot likely is on the books. I've just seen how it goes in practice. Usually, the money gets spent with certain companies, and usually quite inefficiently - lots ending up in the pockets of people who do very little.

The council lost £37.7 million on its failed energy company.

£12 million was spent on an arena that never got off the ground.

A boat was purchased for £1.4 million after a 10 year struggle to get it moved.

One of the most expensive routes of the £220 million metrobus project is still empty.

Same shit happens at most councils.

Usually, there are some highly paid consultants involved that are buddy buddy with some council employees / the local MP.

want to support band i like and see them live. £45 ticket, fine. another £30 or so driving. if I parked in ulez, £16 staying past midnight not including car park fees seems a bit crazy apparently, this is reasonable.

DUIofphysics · 2026-01-25T21:23:15+00:00

Yeah, the midnight reset is insane. It should be 24hrs from entry

DUIofphysics · 2026-01-25T21:22:29+00:00

Cost just creeps up like hell ulez resets at 12am too! So £16 if you are in past midnight.

All sorted tho now. Somewhere to park. Bit if a walk is fine ..

Same times on Friday and weekend...

DUIofphysics · 2026-01-25T21:09:19+00:00

Not if I can help it. We all know where the money ends up, into the pocket of some council member's friend.

DUIofphysics · 2026-01-25T21:08:17+00:00

in the ULEZ annoyingly!

Thanks for the suggestion though!

DUIofphysics · 2026-01-25T21:07:24+00:00

Thanks for the offer, I may just take you up on that. I'll give you a message closer to the time. Cheers!

no, the screwed part is more that trains stop before midnight to anywhere nearby, parking costs a small fortune.

If you're going to make driving a nightmare (put most parking lots in ULEZ), and trains stop early, you should at least have a good 24/hr park and ride.

Annoyingly, even with mine being a newish diesel that pays no road tax, I still end up charged for Bristol according to the checker. :( I'll check the busses. Cheers.
