Getting from Bristol to Colchester

If you’re attending the Appearance Matters conference in Bristol before coming to the Weight Stigma Conference, the simplest way to get from there to here is by train. First, take the train from Bristol Temple Meads to London Paddington. Then, from Paddington, switch to the Elizabeth Line (underground) to London Liverpool Street – four stops. From there, trains run several times an hour to Colchester. Depending on whether you get express trains or not, this will take between 3 and 3 1/2 hours, including transfer times. Although it sounds complicated, the London travel system is extremely well-signposted and trains run frequently. Just take your time and don’t panic!
