Coach Arrival Times

[Gucci Piggy]

Is there any way to find out the arrival times of my coach package? Wanting to book a train home from Lincoln on Monday but no idea what time I'll be arriving there...

[Gucci Piggy]

Anyone at all?

I'm no help, Will, but didn't want you to have no replies! I hope someone clever can answer. If it's a See Coach, then I wouldn't be surprised if there is no formal arrival time. It's charter, rather than scheduled, so they may work purely on a departure time and then you get there when you get there. Of course, like so often, I could be way wrong!

Pretty sure there isn't. The coaches simply can't guarantee an arrival time.

Last year when I got the coach back (to Cardiff) it turned up 2 hours late and took over 3 hours to get back, which is twice as long as it took going the other way on the Wednesday - that was because of the traffic.

If you're able to, get an open ticket. Or book a time much later than you'd normally guess and be prepared to wait around in Lincoln for a while if the coach is actually quick getting back.

I don't understand what you're asking

 

What time you'll be arriving where?

[DeanoL]

You could try looking up the trip on National Express, which will give you an idea of how long it will take. But as others have said, there's no guarantee and all sorts of things can influence it, not least traffic.

What time you'll be arriving where?

Was wanting to know what time I'll be arriving back in Lincoln on Monday (I know my departure time from Glastonbury), because I then need a train from Lincoln to where I actually live.

As everyone's said, though, doesn't look like there's a way to find out. My coach home last year was hours late anyway so tbh it probably wouldn't be much help.

I was going to get an open train, but the problem was which station to get the train to. My closest is Sc**thorpe, but there are only trains like every three hours, so if I miss one I'll be waiting ages for the next. Other option is Doncaster, which is less convenient, but there are trains like every half hour, so if I can't find out my arrival time I'll probably go with an open ticket to Doncaster.

Thanks for the help, guys And thank you Ben for taking pity on me!

Ah! Well yeah the main thing is when you're leaving the site.

 

If you've not booked anything I would go to Bristol and get a  train from there if possible, will be able to get a bus from the site to there for £20 without booking

I'm getting a see coach back to Birmingham from 9am Lord knows when I'll be back at base but how longs a piece of string?

Cannot guarantee when we will be back

Ah nah I've got a coach package. Lincoln isn't far from me, it's an easy journey, just wondered if there was any way to know when I'll arrive.

[Gucci Piggy]

Oh ffs just noticed Neil's swear filter blocking the name of where I live again. So degrading every time.

My mates are planning to camp near the Park and will be there at the crack of dawn, I need them to save space for me but no idea when my coach is going to arrive by - departing  WEDS 6.20 am from Oxford

Not overly helpful but you really should of given them your tent to put up for you!

 

Park fills up really quickly IIRC but one tent should be grand, get them to pitch in a way they can all move a bit and create a new space.

They are coming from London otherwise I would have!

 

They say they heading for that field behind the Park stage that faces into where Arcadia now sits? Me and another mate are arrving with two 3 man tents hopefully we will be ok.

I still would of made them take it ha

 

You'll def get close to them like, just maybe not right beside them

[sloseph]

I've no helpful information but I wanted to note that i'm coming from Lincoln too

 

also we all know t's very appropriate to filter Sc**thorpe, I think we should take that policy with other grim towns

[Chief Scout]

I'm on the coach to/from Lincoln, for onward train travel to 'Grim'sby

 

last year the coach to Doncaster with national express was approx. 4 1/2 hours

 

I'm estimating that it will take around the same time seen as it is the same mileage

 

coach departs glasto at 12:00, so should all being well be in Lincoln latest 5pm on Monday

 

ive played it safe and just bought an off peak return for an extra few quid

 

my train is either 17:22 or 20:02 to Grimsby, thought I might be cutting it fine for the 17:22.

 

hope that kinda helps you

Yeah those are the same trains going to Sc**thorpe. Loads of trains to Doncaster betweet 17:22 and 20:02, which is why I'm considering going there instead. Guess if we miss the 17:22 we can just go get food or something.
