Shuttle bus to/ from Stafford

[crisscross]

My daughter and her friend are going to V in Staffordshire this weekend.

It will be their first festival and so they are booked into a hotel in Stafford as the other girl's dad didn't want them camping ( which I think would have been better)

Has anyone got experience of using the shuttle bus to the site on Saturday morning and to Stafford in the evening please?

How long is the queue time, how long does it take to get there and will the last bus go without them if they are full?

Thanks

When I lived in Stafford I always used the bus.  Depending on which way they go it'll take between half an hour and 45 minutes; I've seen some strange signs near the village I now live in so I think the buses will be taking very rural routes to avoid the main traffic.  There will be queues in the evening to get back, so they could be waiting a good hour or so on site before they get on a bus.  There's a good bit about it on the official site, as long as there is still a queue they will keep running buses.

Thanks Lucy, that sounds perfect. Feeling a little more at ease now!
