Bristol Community Ferry Boats is proud to announce the launch of a thrilling trial for a new route, connecting Netham Lock to the vibrant heart of the City Centre via Temple Meads. This marks the second trial undertaken by the company in the past six months, enabling them to evaluate and meet the evolving needs and demands of the community.
As one of Bristol's largest Community Businesses, Bristol Community Ferry Boats operates as a publicly owned Co-Operative, dedicated to serving the city's diverse transportation, leisure, and educational requirements on the waterways.
Roisin Tobin-Brooke, Co-Director of Bristol Community Ferry Boats, expressed her enthusiasm for the trial, stating, "With ongoing regeneration projects along the Feeder Canal, we anticipate a growing demand for water transport services along this route. Our aim is to provide residents in St Ann's, Brislington, and St George with a picturesque and serene commute into the City Centre, whether for work or leisure."
Tim Rippington, Labour Councillor for Brislington East, Bristol said “ 'I'm delighted that Bristol Ferries are able to offer a second trial this spring - the first one was well used, despite some poor weather, and demonstrated that there is a pressing need for more public transport options in the area.”
The trial is scheduled to commence from the 18th to the 26th of May. On weekends, passengers can enjoy a leisurely 10am departure from Netham Lock, conveniently located near the Lock Keepers Cottage, with return trips from the City Centre at 3:15pm. Weekday commuters can take advantage of an 8am departure from Netham Lock, with return trips from the City Centre at 5:15pm.
Join Bristol Community Ferry Boats on this exciting journey as they explore new horizons and connect communities across Bristol.
