Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / October 2007FOAK: Bristol airport to Chippenham/Calne
Anyone know the cheapest (and fairly quick) way to get from Brizzle airport to the Chippenham/Calne area? Ma's looking at buying a new motor and weighing up the cost to send me to collect it v. the large delivery charge. Flying to BRS is preferable to spending 6 hrs on multiple trains and only costs £20 more. -- Cheers!

Bugger! That'll probably cost the same as the flight... -- Fr Jack @ work > >Anyone know the cheapest (and fairly quick) way to get from Brizzle > >airport to the Chippenham/Calne area? > > I'd have thought a taxi is probably the only option. Nonsense. 30 minutes on the coach from the airport to Temple Meads and 25 minutes on the train from there to Chippenham. £11.40 all in.

How often do they run? -- Fr Jack @ work > > Nonsense. > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > How often do they run? Coach, every 15 minutes. Train, f.ck knows. Every half hour, at a guess. However, once you factor in airport transit, check-in, flight, arrivals, and the connections, you may be better off taking the train all the way. I had to pop up to Newcastle for a meeting a few months ago and the door-to-door journey by train was 30 minutes quicker than by plane and gave me a couple of hours of uninterrupted drinking time courtesy of GNER.

Indeed. I'm off to Brussels in a couple of weeks and the train looks like a winner on journey quality and cost (even paying 1st class to London). I reckon there's only about half an hour in it by the time I drive to Brizzle airport and then get into Brussels at the other end. > > Nonsense. > > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > How often do they run? http://www.thetrainline.com/ HTH > Anyone know the cheapest (and fairly quick) way to get from Brizzle > airport to the Chippenham/Calne area? > Flying to BRS is preferable to spending 6 hrs on multiple trains and > only costs £20 more. Manchester (IIRC) to Chippenham = 4hrs 17min one change. Open single (use on any train) £48.50 std or £109 first class - much cheaper booked in advance to use on a specific train.

I've got to nip over to Chippenham sometime this week, and I could detour via Lulsgate. > > Anyone know the cheapest (and fairly quick) way to get from Brizzle > > airport to the Chippenham/Calne area?

Much to my surprise. >When are you planning to travel? I've got to nip over to Chippenham >sometime this week, and I could detour via Lulsgate. It'll be a Saturday, either 3rd or 10th. I've done some more poking about and got the train down to £30 ish, Wigan to Chippenham, via Brizzle and not much longer than Sweller's time. A valium should prevent me massacring fellow travelers...
