Bus Services
Stoke Gifford benefits from the large number of services that call at Bristol Parkway Station. These services travel along Hatchet Road, Brierly Furlong and Great Stoke Way (southbound) or Fox Den Road ((northbound).
The remainder of the parish is, however, poorly served – particularly after the 72 service stopped visiting Hunts Ground Road when it was replaced by the U7 in September 2011.
