I’m with the OP in that I went to my first Glastonbury in 1986 & didn’t fully work out the significance of ‘The Railway Line’ until 2007 when a I used it a lot because I camped in Paines at one end of it, & it was a less muddy route than most, and then I realised that just about everywhere is somewhere off that line, & the things that aren’t off that line kind of fall into place because of the things that are.

The railway line is actually the key.

However, I would be sad not to have had the 20 years of getting completely & utterly lost before I realised this. So everyone should just try to get hold of one of those pens from Independence Day that make you forget everything & not know this for at least a few Glastonburies for the full experience.

To be fair the OP does make some sense, I camp in Pylon so it's a simple follow the Pylons when I am wasted. I always struggle with which way to "follow the Pylons" and often end heading in the wrong direction and veering back towards the bright lights of the SE corner, One year I will work it out, I hope not though...

I think you're confusing The Railway Line with The Monorail.

    • Big Fender fan but don't feel particularly churlish in suggesting Rein Me In is mid-tier. Still, when Dean comes out for it, it will clearly go off. 
    • I always thought it distinctly likely she meant BST anyway

    • I think it's a conscious decision this year not to publicize it beforehand. Not sure why. Maybe they have even removed the concept of a passport altogether and have something else... I like it because it helps me find parts of the program that don't function as slots in the timetable.
