Travel problem warning for Glastonbury Festival due to strikes
People heading to Glastonbury Festival are being warned about potential travel problems due to planned rail strikes.
Great Western Railway, which operates the route between London Paddington and Castle Cary - the closest station to the festival - has said it "plans to maintain timetabled trains" throughout the course of the week. National Express, the official coach partner of the festival, will carry more than 30,000 music fans to and from the site but a spokeswoman warned of congestion in the surrounding area.
"We are working hard to increase availability to meet additional demand where possible. Seats are selling fast, so the advice is to check services and book in advance," added the spokeswoman.
