Montpelier Train Across Bristol – Better Than The Bus?

How does taking a Montpelier train compare to catching a bus?

One of the advantages of Montpelier, is that it has its own railway station. This connects the area to North Bristol as well as Bristol Temple Meads.

We gave the train route a test out, heading from Montpelier to Clifton Down station.

A journey that most likely would have taken over an hour by bus – leaving plenty of time for services not to show up – took just minutes.

Montpelier Station has always had really interesting street art across its walls. At the moment there is a mural by Silent Hobo with lots of recognisable features in Bristol, as well as the city’s wildlife.


After arriving at Clifton Down, a journey taking approximately 4 minutes, we headed to the Alma Tavern Theatre to watch a show.

We took a return train from Clifton Down back to Montpelier in probably the easiest cross Bristol Journeys possible.
