James Says

Recent years have seen easyJet's domination of Bristol to Europe flights being slowly eroded by Ryanair, although the 'Big Orange' is still the major player in terms of both destinations and overall passengers carried. Between them, most corners of Europe are covered, although you can also find easy one-stop connections via Amsterdam with KLM or Paris Charles de Gaulle with Air France.

The first, and so far only, year-round long-haul flights from Bristol started in 2005, with the launch of Continental's daily flights to New York Newark, but this route was unfortunately scrapped in 2010.

@Jodatu High speed should be just that - limited stop (which hs2 is), stations that provide onward connections (which hs2 does very poorly)

@Jodatu You wouldn't want 3 stations in Birmingham serving #HS2 - also, double deck, 400m long trains not compatible with classic track

@Jodatu You could make that argument about any central station or hub airport. Reality is, origin + connection passengers justify both
