London and Bristol are two major cities in the United Kingdom that are connected by several transportation options. If you prefer the freedom and convenience of driving, here are some driving routes and tips to help you travel from London to Bristol.

Choose the right route:

There are primarily two main routes to consider when driving from London to Bristol:

M4 route: This is the most direct and fastest route between the two cities. Start by taking the A4 towards Chiswick, then join the M4 motorway. Continue on the M4 for approximately 100 miles until you reach Bristol.
A4 route: This is a slightly longer but more scenic route. Follow the A4 road from London, passing through towns like Maidenhead, Reading, and Newbury. This route takes you through the picturesque English countryside before reaching Bristol.

Traffic and timing:

London is known for its heavy traffic, so it's important to plan your journey accordingly. Congestion is particularly common during peak hours (7:00 am - 10:00 am and 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm). It's advisable to avoid driving during these times if possible to minimize delays. If you must travel during peak hours, consider using a traffic monitoring app to stay updated on any potential traffic jams or accidents along your route.

Navigation:

Ensure you have a reliable navigation system or GPS device to guide you on your journey. This will help you navigate through unfamiliar roads and avoid getting lost. Most modern smartphones also have built-in GPS capabilities, which can be used with navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze.

Fuel and rest stops:

Before embarking on your journey, make sure you have enough fuel in your car. There are several service stations along both the M4 and A4 routes where you can refuel and take a break. It's essential to take regular rest stops to stretch your legs, use the restroom, and stay refreshed during the drive.

Toll roads:

The M4 motorway has toll sections between London and Bristol. Ensure you have enough cash or a contactless payment method, such as a debit or credit card, to pay the toll fees. The toll amounts can vary depending on the size of your vehicle and the time of day, so make sure to check the latest information beforehand.

Speed limits and regulations:

It's important to adhere to speed limits and other driving regulations to ensure your safety and avoid any penalties. In the UK, the standard speed limits on motorways are 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars and motorcycles, and 60 mph (96 km/h) for vehicles towing caravans or trailers. Speed limits can vary in urban areas, so be sure to watch for signs indicating the limit.

Parking in Bristol:

When you reach Bristol, familiarize yourself with the parking options available. Bristol City Centre has several parking garages and on-street parking spaces, but they can get crowded, especially during busy periods. Consider pre-booking a parking space or utilizing park-and-ride services to avoid any parking challenges.

Driving from London to Bristol can be a convenient and enjoyable way to travel between the two cities. By planning your route, considering traffic conditions, and following the necessary regulations, you can have a smooth and stress-free journey.

Train strikes in May 2024: Full list of dates and lines affected this week

Rail lines are set for disruption in the week following the first May bank holiday as train drivers at 16 rail companies strike on different days.

Tuesday 7 May 2024 16:00, UK

Train drivers will stage a fresh wave of strikes and overtime bans this week, causing disruption to the rail network.

The strikes are part of a long-running dispute over pay.

Members of Aslef union at 16 rail companies will walk out on different days from 7 to 9 May.

Additionally, all members will refuse to work any overtime from 6 May to 11 May.

Here is a full list of the services affected by strikes and when.

Rail strike dates

Tuesday 7 May

Strikes will affect c2c, Greater Anglia, GTR Great Northern Thameslink, Southeastern, Southern, Gatwick Express and South Western Railway.

Wednesday 8 May

Strikes will affect Avanti West Coast, London Northwestern Railway, Chiltern Railways, CrossCountry, East Midlands Railway, Great Western Railway and West Midlands Trains.

Thursday 9 May

Strikes will affect LNER, Northern Trains and TransPennine Express.

Overtime ban dates

From Monday 6 May to Saturday 11 May union members will not work overtime.

Overtime bans, an action short of a strike, means some services may not be running or may be reduced as drivers refuse to work their rest days.

People are advised to check before they travel, as some areas may have no service.

How do strikes and overtime bans affect services?

Strikes tend to mean services on lines where members are participating are extremely affected or cancelled entirely, whereas overtime bans often lead to reduced services.

An underground train pulls into Leicester Square station in central London February 11, 2014. A planned 48-hour strike this week by staff on London's underground rail network which threatened to bring travel misery for millions has been suspended to allow further talks, unions said on Tuesday. REUTERS/Neil Hall (BRITAIN - Tags: POLITICS TRANSPORT BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT)

Are there strikes on the Tube too?

There have been regular strikes on London Underground too recently, and while there aren't any planned walkouts for drivers, customer service managers refused to work overtime between 29 April and 5 May.

This action followed strike action taken by the same workers on 10 April, which the TSSA union said had a "real impact" with "many stations shut at short notice" - something TfL denies, saying instead that the action "closed a handful of stations", with most closures "not lasting the whole day".

The TSSA says it is "extremely concerned" about TfL's 'Stations Changes' proposals.

"We have made it clear that our union will not accept the continued threats to our members' roles, locations, terms, and conditions to stand unchallenged," a TSSA spokesperson said.

"We will continue to take sustained action until London Underground is prepared to negotiate with us in good faith."

A TfL spokesperson responded: "We are disappointed that TSSA is continuing with this dispute following a consultation process. While the action did not cause significant disruption, we urge TSSA to continue to work with us to help find a resolution. There are no planned job losses as part of these vital changes which will improve the service we provide to customers at our stations."

Why are the strikes still happening?

Aslef rejected a two-year offer of 4% in 2022 and another 4% this year, saying it is way below inflation, and is linked to changes in terms and conditions.

Aslef said train drivers have not had an increase in salary for five years, since their last pay deals expired in 2019.

The union said after its members voted overwhelmingly in February to continue taking industrial action, it asked the train operating companies to hold talks.

General secretary Mick Whelan said the year-old pay offer of 4% and another 4% was "dead in the water".
