Getting to Glastonbury on Wednesday evening

[happinessisawarmgun]

Anyone had any experience with getting to glastonbury on the wednesday evening?

I'm in court (as a witness!) on the wednesday afternoon in Manchester, and have got to find a way of getting down from there.

Does anyone know how many trains get in to castle cary? I should be able to get to Bristol for about 9ish. What are my chances from there? Anyone know what the queues are like at the gates at that sort of time? My main worries are ended up being stranded and not being able to get there on wednesday, missing valuable glastonbury time!

We drove down after work from London in 2005, so must have arrived around 10pm. Queued on the road from just the other side of pilton (hardly anything) and didn't wait at the gates at all.

I'd say a lot more people arrive as early on weds as possible now, so if anything it might be quieter.

Can't advise on the trains I'm afraid - look on raileasy or similar?

Or there's a NatEx bus from Bristol Bus Station at 20:30. It's about 10 mins cab ride from Temple Meads.

There is THIS BUS SERVICE which if you scroll to the bottom you will see go from Bristol Temple Meads to (the environs of) Glastonbury Town. NB, this is a regular daily service and nothing to do with the festival.

Take note the last 3 buses only go to Wells but you said you can get to Temple Meads for around 9pm. So catch the 9.20 to Wells and then get a taxi at the bus station to site. Much cheaper than a taxi from Brizzle. If you get taxi numbers sorted in advance, you might also be able to arrange a set price in advance with a particular company.

Map of Wells Look how close it is to the G.

Travel well and good luck.
