Hi all. Apologies if this is covered elsewhere - I have done a search but I can only find similar queries relating to coaches. We have been going to the festival since 2008 and in recent years have taken our kids (now 3 and 6), and have always driven. This year we are getting the train for the first time from Portsmouth with the intention of camping in Wicket, and I am panicking a bit about luggage. We have always taken a double bike trailer which we use as a buggy - both kids sleep in it and the big bike wheels work brilliantly regardless of weather, so its an essential. It does fold up if necessary for the train and shuttle so that's all fine, but my partner will be left transporting our tent, 4 x sleeping bags and mats etc...so in a perfect world we would be able to use our trusty sack trolley too. Does anyone have any experience taking a sack trolley on the train and shuttle? We aren't planning on taking the p*ss and loading it with crates of beer- but travelling with two kids does make it difficult to only bring what you can carry. It feels as though families should be able to get to the festival by train but in reality have we made a massive error?! Any advice welcome, thanks!
