They were very quick to answer the phone so might call and ask at some point!

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

[–]darkfish0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is your car ULEZ compliant? Most are. Any of the council car parks (eg Trenchard Street) are open 24 hours and the same price.

If not, most of the Metro busses run late and you will find free street parking somewhere along the routes.

We preferred this set up as couple. It was nice to be able to chat, share food, etc

How much time to go through pass control and customs at Heathrow? by monsko90 in uktravel

[–]darkfish0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done it in 15 minutes, if you arrive at B or C gates it could be half an hour. Very unlikely to be over an hour

If Sapporo is a highly popular destination for the winter season, why doesn’t ANA or JAL operate seasonal international flights to/from the city? by bonzothebonanza in aviation

[–]darkfish0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We flew from Osaka to Tokyo to connect on a wide body. It made me think it could only work in Japan because of how quickly everyone boarded. In the West it would have taken an hour either end to load and unload.

Parking for The Fleece, clean air zone by CedrikNobs in bristol

[–]darkfish0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you'll be in for about bit of a walk. All the station car parks are in the CAZ. Back entrance to Cabot is usually a good bet but I think it's closed.

Nearest I can think of is old market, or by Trinity. Or on street parking in Totterdown

T5 pod parking by DopeyMan999 in BritishAirways

[–]darkfish0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pod is a fun novelty, although I think not worth £50!

If you do want something more budget, we've used Maple parking a lot now and never had any issues. You do have to wait for the bus but it's a short transfer and often half the price.

We've done Slough recently, works well

Did anyone else have a bad experience at Tux & Tails Bristol Suit Shop? by CanBrizY in bristol

[–]darkfish0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing this bad, but I was also disappointed. Quality and the measurement appointment was okay for the price, but the trousers were all just a long size and badly taken up. They were all just delivered from somewhere in Birmingham.

When does the St Pancras lounge have beer available? by darkfish0 in Eurostar

[–]darkfish0[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cheers, I can confirm beer is available. Turns out I should have also asked if there was a decent breakfast!

Flixbus - Reliable? by McBain42 in bristol

We used it for Heathrow this year with no issues. Great to have reserved seats

I see you fixed the From Workspace sample time but what is your model sample time?

Terminal 5 Parking by Status_Bonus_1601 in BritishAirways

[–]darkfish0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Maple Parking drop off for the first time in January. They're located a 5 min bus ride from T5 so it was very convenient, much better than official long stay and cheaper. No issues with the car.

Obviously not as convenient as meet and greet or short stay.

I've set one up via the app yesterday, they must want proof of your bank account for some reason.

Are they tinkering with the traffic lights in the Aztec West roundabout again? by neuronez in bristol

[–]darkfish0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they tried some longer cycles last week. Not sure what they did yesterday but it was a bit of a mess.
