TuftyClub Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Safe travels everyone. Just a cautionary note for those traveling by train through South Gloucestershire. My daughter was tavelling to Bristol today (from Cheltenham) and had her journey disrupted because the heat had buckled the railway lines! They did get underway via a diversion and not too delayed thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stay overnight in a hotel nearby and I take the National Express at 6:00 a.m. from Heathrow to Glastonbury which should arrive at around 9:30 a.m.! I think my friend who is coming is on the same flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside down frowner Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Set off from 10am Wednesday from Burnley, pick up in Rossendale drive round manchester to the M6. Hopefully the traffic Gods are kind! still undecided whether to come off the M5 and go through Bristol and the a37 or carrying on further down the M5 for a39...?

RichieSpenno Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Leave Leicester at midnight. 7 of us between 2 cars. Customary services stop about half way.

6t6o6m Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Finishing work tomorrow at 15:30, getting dropped off at Andover Station to catch my 5pm train. I will be heading to Bristol Parkway via two changes. Picked up at Bristol by my friend. Off to a pub for a meal somewhere around Bristol followed by a wander round Tesco collecting all the small things. By that point, we will then head to glastonbury, park up, have a beer or 2, sleep. Up at 5/6 to join the queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one stop flights make it a little easier these days, but we had a little wobble last week when I found Qatar airways changed our flight details! Added a whole 10 minutes to the first leg much to my relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbferb Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Not setting off until Friday morning as we have a 10 month old and this will be our first weekend away from him ! Set to leave at 7am and hope to be there for around midday, ready to have some baby free fun hoping that Friday traffic will be minimal?!

Added a whole 10 minutes to the first leg much to my relief. Living in Auckland as well, pretty central-ish. I had the same thing with Qatar. Think I may stick with the 17hr flight moving forward, found it relatively easy and found the planes to be more comfortable than others previously. Hard to complain for $1500 rtn.

cammie81 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 We're getting the 8:00 train from Glasgow to Southampton (via Wolverhampton) this morning, which should get us down for about 14:00-ish. Then it's last minute supplies followed by a pub crawl of the craft ale pubs. See tickets bus tomorrow at 10:00 and on site hopefully early afternoon. Not taking smartphone so will miss all the chat on here but thankfully can pick up a copy of Somerset Live to see all the speculation reported as news.
