The 2019 Exit Thread

[litmus]

Hows everyone’s exit from the festival going so far? Hope everyone has a safe trip home!

[Stretlow]

Left at 6.45

No problems 

[ScarletBlaster]

Just left WV, no issues!

[stuartbert two hats]

After a grueling 2 hours sleep, quick pack up and dash from Paines to Gate A, I was kettled for 30 minutes and eventually got on a coach back to Manchester. I'll be home in time for tea!

Anyone know how the Castle Cary route is looking? I’m dreading the return as inbound was so mad!

Just posted in a different thread, it took a whule to get moving but once it did it was rapid, only queued for about 70 minutes. There's no queue for the London bound side of the station, Bristol had a fair few queueing but I assume that that was just keeping those guys off of the same platform as the London train until it had departed. Lots of bags on seats.

Best ever for me. At gate A for 7:45 NE Edinburgh coach was waiting, left bang on 8am, already.... Actually I have no clue. Somewhere in an English motorway.

East car parks gridlock atm. Not moved in 25 minutes, engines off.

On the see tickets coach. The organisation is so poor. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to get on my allocated coach if I simply turned up at the right time...they just load people on and don’t give a shit what coaches people are booked on to. 

They don’t even check tickets. If anyone wants a free coach home just turn up!

Paid for WV for a reason. Up and out for 7, breakfast in Brizzle before 9 and just passing Stoke on our way up to the hills of Saddleworth with the inevitable comedown already kicking in.

I’m from Diggle. I’ll be having a hair of the dog in the navigation inn later that’s for sure!

Delph, up on Hill Top, got to fetch the pooch from Bradford or I might join you! The nearest I’ll get to the Nav is on my way to see Rachel in the Chippy ?

Annoyingly the chippy is closed Mondays now! Disaster!

[blutarsky]

Both exits from east car parks completely blocked. Been sat in the car for an hour now and only moved 80m.

Bollocks

Armstrongs in Shaw then!

[sprocketrocket]

Left west carparks about 0915 and pretty much drove straight off.. 

[Tinofsild]

Sat up in South Park 2. Getting stuck into some of my remaining cider too (I’m not driving) We’re going to leave it a few hours before we leave, then visit a local pub for lunch on the way back to Reading. Doing it this way seems to cushion the blow of the end of the festival for us. Come back down to earth softly

[gherkin8r]

National weather cypress bus to Bristol airport was 2 hours late leaving. Not ideal but not disastrous as we had left plenty of time for delays. 

[buddiepaul]

I left site at 3 this morning and was home at 5.  I was going to stay later, but decided to make the most of the fact I was quite awake and alert to get away, though it was a wrench to leave.  Totally crashed and just got up again, though now there is a buzzing in my head.  It's weird sitting on a sofa again though.

[Digi]

Already home in Wakefield, bathed and pyjamaficated! ?

Set off around 6.15 via a stop at McDonald's for 30 mins or so. Roads totally clear all the way home and home just after 11

Annoying! We are supposed to leave in 5 mins but there is a queue in the way. Reckon we could have just left two hours ago instead of sitting around waiting for our ‘allotted’ time!

10,30 am ... west 10mins to get out .. thanks Glastonbury festival for ensuring a great getaway from a great festival 

[Tom_12]

Pink car park and was straight out and away without stopping at about 9:50am. A lot easier than I expected.

[blutarsky]

Been sat in east for just under 2 hours now, no movement. 

Started in east 5, now 20m inside east 4...
