Easy to get wrong
This is a distinct product from the Great Western Railway Paddington-Bristol Temple Meads train in this file - the coach terminates at Bristol's central bus station, not at Temple Meads, and takes considerably longer than the 79-minute rail journey.

Status
GWR's own popular-routes page was blocked to this tooling's direct automated fetch (it returns a page but not a stable machine-readable snapshot); the 79-minute fastest time and 2 trains-per-hour figure are corroborated by GWR's public route description as surfaced through search, matching Wikipedia's separate infrastructure description of the same Great Western Main Line corridor.

Hours
One train every two hours on this line continues beyond Bristol to Weston-super-Mare or Taunton - a traveller boarding the wrong working could find themselves on a slower, further-reaching service than a same-platform alternative.

Fixed fare
As with every National Express corridor in this file, no fixed one-way price is published here - National Express's own dynamic advance-fare pricing model makes any single number liable to go stale quickly.
