I've seen pax left behind at the airport at busy times but never at the station and I'm there at least once a week.
There is invariably a group of anything from six to thirty people waiting at the TM Flyer stop for the next coach. Clearly from what you say, at other times there are far more than this.
I know what you are saying about First's bus and train services in and around Bristol but the Flyer service is supposed to be run for the airport so they should be cracking the whip to get things working properly.
I spoke to Mr Skipp about a previous general problem with the Flyer. He was very sympathetic and clearly anxious to sort it out with the coach operator.
I suppose the fact that the coach is sometimes full at the station end reinforces my view that the Flyer service is popular and viable as a means of getting rail pax to the airport, but it must operate efficiently or people will cease to use it.
