Bristol Clean Air Zone

A major source of air pollution in cities is road traffic. With the introduction of Bristol’s Clean Air Zone, let someone else do the (train) driving for you and help make sure everyone benefits from a more healthy and natural environment.

Did you know that a single train removes up to 500 cars from our roads? And that taking a train instead of a car for a medium-length journey can cut your emissions by up to two thirds? Plus, you'll save on petrol and wear and tear on your car. So by walking, cycling and using public transport, like Bristol’s suburban rail network, see if Great Western Railway can help you avoid the Clean Air Zone vehicle charge and get you where you need to be, by train.

Trains to and around Bristol

GWR trains run direct from London Paddington, Cardiff Central, Bath Spa, Gloucester and Exeter St Davids and all arrive at the centrally located Bristol Temple Meads station, which is just a short walk or bus journey from the city centre. You can even catch the Bristol Ferry waterbus from the pier at Temple Meads all the way to the SS Great Britain via Hotwells and the centre. With Temple Meads and the city centre now located in the Clean Air Zone, a train into central Bristol is a great way to arrive.

The Severn Beach line forms part of Bristol’s suburban rail network, with half-hourly services running to areas like Stapleton Road, Redland, Clifton and Avonmouth, and with train fares from just £2 return.
