How to get to Bristol by Bus/Coach
Bristol Coach Station

Coaches are run by National Express and there is a fairly frequent service to and from most major cities in the UK. The cost is considerably cheaper than the train (maybe as much as three times cheaper), but you run the risk of being stuck in traffic jams.
