Cheap Return Coaches from London Vic and Brighton

[BPEC_Coaches]

Hi Everyone,

 

First-time poster, long time lurker. 

I hope that this is the appropriate section for this post. I volunteer with Brighton Peace and Environment Centre, and we rely on profit made from our coach service to Glastonbury each year to keep us going. We have a long history with the festival (with more info on the links below).

 

We're struggling to sell our expected amount of tickets this year, so I thought this would be a fine place to post. It is £65 return from either Brighton Old Steine or London Victoria. Your vessel will be Brighton's iconic Big Lemon Coaches, so eco-friendly, cheap and (hopefully) fun!!

Please use us if you are yet to book coaches, or even better recommend and share us!

Oh noooo  They are a bit more pricey the well-known services. We'll be about next year with an even cheaper early bird!

Didn't know there were cheaper options available tbh! Will definitely look out for you in future

You got me home to Brighton after Glastonbury 2013, when my other travel plans fell through. I found a sign along the railway line advertising coaches to Brighton and called the number. Lifesavers!

I need to arrive on Monday this year for my volunteer role, so I'm going to have to make my own way. Will keep in mind for the way home though.

You my friend are an absolute gem, legitimately saved me almost a ton on return travel with that, which will now go straight to the beer fund

Ohh very tempted by this, heading down solo on the Wednesday and this looks like it might be more craic than hopping on the National Express!

Ahh glad you had a good experience in 2013! We do single tickets also

Fyi, BPEC are one of the volunteer groups that run the lockups, in case anyone hadn't realised!

If you are on NE it’s free cancellation (less £1 I think) so you could still save some £ if you want to change especially if there are a few of you

Cool! They're a lovely bunch - they also do a catering service for the lockups crew too. We had some great food last time ?

Really? I thought that was only on selected fares... Will look into it, cheers!

I believe it's only if you bought the refundable/amendable ticket, that's the vibe I got from the hold message when I rang up there now.

I thought they were the only ones they sold to Glastonbury which is why they are such a rip off but I may be wrong

Fairly certain there were two options when I booked it as I remember thinking the amendable fare was only a couple of quid more so (thankfully) opted for that.

Ah I enquired via Facebook a few months back but never heard anything  Definitely  think you should start making noise earlier next year, we're booked on NE now!

Very sorry for the lack of response! I only began volunteering early April and leading the online presence- the plan is to keep making plenty of noise and save you Glasto folk a couple of quid!

Yeah, from what I can tell I didn't book that one (I think you have to pay a couple of quid more to make it amendable). Maybe next year, if I don't lucky in the main coach sale!

[BPEC_Coaches]

If any of you folk did buy a return ticket from us or planning to, timetable and contact information is here: https://www.bpec.org/index.php/glastonbury

There will be a mobile number announced shorty if there is an urgent need for contact around and during the festival.

Thank you to everyone who used our coach service this year, we managed to sell out by the end!! This guarantees that Brighton and Peace and Environment Centre can continue running and making a difference to the environmental wellbeing of Brighton and surrounding areas. https://www.bpec.org/ Our long history with Glastonbury has supported us massively, with this year appearing extra special.

 

Perhaps some of you even got the chance to say hello to some of our team at the property lock ups at Silver Hayes and Tipi? 

 

Hope you had a wonderful festival!
