Charter flights October 2005

Haven't got the flight numbers but there were four weekly charter flights to Zakinthos then: FCA on Tuesdays and Thursdays; MYT on Thursdays; XLA on Sundays.

So it looks as though your travel day was a Thursday - the inbound was scheduled back at BRS at 1715.

Airport Flyer

BRS has announced major improvements to the Flyer service.

From 4 April it will run at ten-minute intervals, increased from every fifteen minutes, for the main part of each day.

Route numbers will become A1 and A2 and the former 330 route to Clifton via Temple Meads and the bus/coach station will terminate at the Triangle, Clifton instead of travelling all along Whiteladies Road as is the current practice. The route around the central area will be amended in order to serve more city centre hotels.

Over £2 million is being spent on twelve new purpose-built Volvo buses that will feature leather seats, will be wheelchair accessible and equipped with free Wi-Fi and phone/laptop power points.

Passengers will be able to take luggage on board which will speed up the boarding process.

The current fleet of coaches, though for the most part no more than six years old, is beginning to look tired and luggage has to be loaded externally (usually by the passengers) into under floor compartments.

Six of the new buses will arrive in spring and the other six next year.
