Sunday night coaches

[bulb]

So here's a little story all about how... my life got that little bit more complicated.

I'm coming via car and ferry to Glastonbury this year from Ireland.

Was planning on staying until Monday morning and then driving back to Pembroke to get the ferry home.

However, I've recently had a job interview and there's a possibility that I will have to fly out to Spain from Bristol on the Monday morning for training week. It can't be missed.

So the only flight option is the 7.15am flight from Bristol airport.

My problem is getting from the festival to Bristol in time and I was wondering if there will be coaches running back there after the headliners wrap up on Sunday night. My plan would be to just get to the airport asap and conk there for a while if necessary rather than sleep after the headliner and get up at 3am or whatever to make it there. Gear isn't too much of a problem. I expect to put all the stuff I need into one of the hold alls during the day.

Does anyone know anything about this? Will there be a bit of a traffic rush after the headliners?

Am I utterly mad? Which companies should I be looking at?

Cheers in advance for any help!

Looks like the only National Express coach to Bristol on Sunday leaves at 5pm

Or, there's a train leaving Castle Cary at 21:19

best option would be to pre order a private hire taxi straight to bristol.

Ah really!!?

How much would a private taxi take and how long is the trip?

Any recommendations of any companies?

I thought there were National Express Coaches leaving after via http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach/Desti...Glastonbury.cfm

but the blasted thing won't let me see the timetables so I can't tell.

I've seen a figure of £50 quoted before.

(Don't have any company names to hand I'm afraid)

Sounds about right.

My suggestion would be to pre-book with a Bristol (Airport) taxi firm perhaps. That way the picker upper can go straight back to work with a new fare at the airport after dropping you off instead of losing good money not being at the Glasto site if you used a local Glastonbury taxi firm...not to mention skyhigh prices

Plus airport taxi services usually come with a decent pre-bookable price..at least that is the situation where I live (25 miles from Gatport Airwick). A single fare around my way from deepest East Sussex to GA can cost as little as £25 one way.

Google away my young padowan.
