Bus
It's easy to get around Bristol by bus, with plenty of services available from all key locations. You can find out more
about Bristol bus routes and timetables at www.firstgroup.com/bristol. You can buy your tickets in advance and at
better prices on the First Buss App or you can pay contactless on all the buses. You can buy day, season and
multiple journey tickets and you will get a 10% discount in your monthly or year tickets for being a UHBW employee.
If you live in the greater Bristol area it's also worth exploring Bristol's most modern public transport system,
Metrobus. Metrobus offers a faster, more frequent and reliable service with direct routes to key destinations. This
new, environmentally-friendly way of getting around the city has a 'buy before you board service' with ticket
machines at every stop.
Cycling
The Trust is a cycle friendly workplace and provides spaces for
over 500 bikes on-site at all the precincts across the Trust. There
is also access to showers, changing rooms and locker facilities
available for those cycling to work.
You can find a number of urban cycle routes in Bristol, as well as
links to National Cycle Network routes to Bath and London, to
Gloucester and Wales, and to the south-western peninsula of
England.
Train
Bristol is at the hub of the national rail network in the West
of England. The major train operators run local, regional
and inter-city services from Bristol Temple Meads Railway
Station and Bristol Parkway Railway Station.
The Hospital Free Bus
There is a hospital free bus for patients, visitors and staff
of the UHBW hospitals. This regular service runs every 20
minutes (from 6:40am to 8:45pm weekdays) and connects
the Bristol train Station of Temple Meads to all our
hospital in central Bristol with stops in Cabot Circus and
Broadmead.
The traffic in Bristol at peak time is generally quite heavy. For that reason and also to reduce pollution and
protect the environment, UHBW promotes green travel through a number of initiatives. Staff are encouraged
to share cars to work, walk or use bicycles, motorbikes or public transport.
