    The bar at the entrance is a decent place to grab a cider and a bite to eat whilst you wait for your train.

    If your in for a long wait for a train, I recommend heading out of station to Cafe Gusto. Great Coffee and a nice place to chill.

    It's so big and spacious and there are so many people that you can fart and no one knows it's you!

    The pub on platform 3 does takeaway cans which are significantly cheaper than buying beer/cider on the train.

    Confusing signage, squats in a fug of rail diesel fumes and all the cafe/food outlets are on the rail side of the ticket barriers at platform level 🙁

    Don't get Starbucks in the train station - just leave and walk to the cheaper (and collects star rewards) one just outside which is open until 18:30

    Avoid the Starbucks in the station. Starbucks in Temple Quay is nicer, cheaper and allows you to use your Starbucks card to pay. Go into the station, turn left & follow the path across the car park.

    Go out of the main entrance, bear left, down the steps and follow the signs for Hart's Bakery. Amazing pastries, cakes and coffee.

    Buy your coffee from AMT in the underpass, if you're feeling naughty grab a Maya - lovely! Watch out for the Starbucks it's one of those pretend ones that doesn't take the Starbucks cards.

    If you’ve got some time to spare, the Knights Templar is a fantastic spoons just two minutes from the side entrance

    Cafe Gusto just outside the station (to the right as you exit, just before the main road) has excellent food and coffee

    Just missed a direct London service. At times it may be quicker to get the first train to Bristol Parkway and take a London service from there

    For those who dint want coffee, the AMT stand in the subway does a hot Spiced Apple drink which is a great alternative.

    Nearly everything is past the gates, so go through early to have a decent coffee.

    The bacon baps from the pasty shop in the underpass are surprisingly excellent.

    0647 Westbury service has now been moved from Platform 5 to Platform 7. It's also now a single carriage instead of two carriages and tends to get a bit tight between Keynsham, Oldfield Park and Bath

    If you're stressed from the shockingly poor services provided by First Great Western, there is a pub at the end of Platform 3/Platform 1.

    You see how the staircases are all one-way? Perhaps you could follow the signs, and then everyone will have a better journey.

    Starbucks here doesn't take Starbucks cards - there is a better one 2 mins walk away at temple quay - follow exit past the ticket booths and go through side entrance to find it.

    If you're a leisure traveller and a busy commuter rushes towards you, get in the way. It's quite amusing and more rewarding than burying your head into the phone.

    Changed trains here, on way to Gloucester to collect Patricia. This had the biggest gap between trains (42 mins) and I still missed connection, due to a lightening strike on signals.

    There are no cash machines before the ticket gates. But if you ask nicely they'll let you through.
