Leaving the festival by coach

[kalifire]

We’ll likely be looking to leave the site on Sunday next year, ideally after the headliners. We won’t be arriving by coach so it’s just a one way ticket out we need. I’m assuming that will need to be via National Express.

Questions:

1. Is it possible to book a one way ticket? 

2. Do coaches leave on Sunday night or just from Monday morning? 

3. We’d be travelling to Bath. Any idea when timetables get published or whether previous years are accessible? 

Cheers!

1. Yes - it definitely used to be.

2. I don't know about Bath but I know ones 'up north' leave from midnight.

3. See the link above. 👍

From memory you could book single tickets but I think they were one way *to* the festival rather than just out of the festival...

You could definitely book both directions - I generally travel to Bristol on the Tuesday and then get a coach to the festival from there, but get a direct service home.

You can book singles. Theyre fares available now. I got a single way fare from Bristol to the fest in 2017 so I doubt tats changed at all. And book the coach fare to Bath Bus Staion, theres a couple diff options and its not where you want to end up really in the town.

Thanks for that 🙂

Unfortunately the first coach to Bath is at 8am Monday, and we have in mind to leave Sunday after the stages close. Looks more likely we'll book a taxi and head off from the taxi rank.

Aaaah bummer. Well at least you know what you have to do. Who knows, maybe somebody has spare room in their car and can give you a lift out there and you save the taxi fare.
