Public transport
Bristol Temple Meads has been the Western terminus of the Great Western Main Line from London Paddington since its opening in 1840. The station is also a crucial junction for trains from Wales and throughout the West of England.

Disabled parking
Disabled drivers and wheelchair users may require assistance when parking in any of the on-site station car parks, as facilities and spaces are somewhat limited.

However, disabled drivers displaying their Blue Badge can park with no maximum stay in any on-street pay-and-display space or bay throughout the city at no cost – even in resident permit restricted areas.

Blue Badge holders may also park for up to 3 hours on single or double yellow lines unless local signs state otherwise.

Parking restrictions & event days
Bristol Temple Meads is nestled between the River Avon, the Bristol Feeder canal and several nearby major roads – resulting in various difficulties when it comes to on-street parking nearby. However, the station is not located within a Controlled Parking Zone, which means generally parking on-street is only restricted on major roads – but you do need to be aware of any specific local restrictions, as there is only a limited number of streets that permit (and are suitable for) parking around Temple Meads.

On the JustPark map, we’ll only show you spaces which you’re allowed to park in at the times you search for.
