As with previous years organisers Festival Republic are keen to encourage festival goers to respect the local residents and the environment ,and to encourage everyone to leave their cars at home.
Coach:
There are normally special National Express and See Coaches festival services running directly into the site from all over the UK.
The Lift Share scheme:
If you have to bring your car to Leeds then why not try the lift-share scheme. It will reduce traffic congestion to the festival; you can split petrol costs between you, and helps reduce global warming at the same time.
Peak traffic flows are likely on the Thursday and on the morning of the Friday as festival goers arrive on site. Most traffic is expected to depart the site late in the evening on the Sunday and before noon on the Monday. The organisers ask all festival goers to try and avoid these periods unless necessary to minimise congestion.
More information will be here when available.
