Ale Amble to Bristol and Shirehampton @ Severn Beach
Mar 23 all-day

Another Saturday ale Amble this time heading to Bristol before catching the train to the outskirts of Bristol along the Severn Beach route.

The plan is to get the 10.52 train to Bristol Temple Meads and then get the Severn Beach branch line, getting to Shirehampton at 12.08.  There is one pub there and after a pint, we get back on the train and head back towards Temple Meads, stopping at different stops.  Our friend, Norman (from Cardiff and Bristol), will arrange the itinerary for us.  All you need to know is the first pub which is the Lamplighters at Shirehampton.

With split ticketing, we get a return to Temple Meads (£7.65 – off peak day return) and then one from BTM to Shirehampton (£1.95 –  Anytime Day Return) – both these prices are for those fortunate enough to have a Senior Rail Card.  The Shirehampton ticket allows us to get on and off the train at any station.
Rail strikes permitting.
