The whole time!

Hmmm. I think you might struggle to find anything cheap close by.  The Q park at Sovereign Square is the cheapest close by and that's £150. 

 

Couple of options a bit further away if you look on Just Park that are cheaper but they'd be a 10 to 15 min walk.  If you want to drop me a DM happy to offer any advice but maybe better getting the train to Leeds as Sovereign Street not too far from station

Return time is 14:30 to Plymouth. 

 

Debating getting an earlier train home.

Cheers for that. Train's not an option due to having a toddler to drop off before driving down to Leeds. I guess we'll just have to grin and bear a 15-20 minute trek. Hopefully we'll still end up walking less far in total with our bags than we did last year when we got put in a car park at Glastonbury that's not even on the map!

Oh and a time update. Thursday from Leeds

DEP 12:00

RET 13:30 - that's a kicker. Did someone say you could nick on to an earlier coach?  :-)

One warning - which our friend didn't heed go light on any pre-festival refreshments until you're sure:
1) There is a toilet on the coach
2) It works. 

He danced down the aisle for a good 40 minutes. 

Appreciate this, thank you for replyng!

yep number 2 isnt always guaranteed for number 1s or 2s

Anyone who's used coaches before, are they strict with showing ID? Never had coach tickets in all my time going, don't fancy taking my passport, as I'm going away the Friday after the festival!

You probably won’t be asked for ID. But I would take a picture of my passport on my phone to be safe

Depends on the driver. Had a great one last year - to make sure everything was on time he gave me all the tickets to hand out as people got on so he could keep up with loading luggage.

 

The legend even tipped me 5 quid when we got to the site! 😄

[Crazyfool01]

Last 2 times they definately checked I’d pretty closely . ID can be safely stored in lockups once onsite 

[Drfoxxx]

Cheers guys, most people I've asked have said usually ok. Are they fine with a scanned copy of passport, if need be?

Ive never had my ID checked so far and this will be my 4th or 5th time on the coach

[Joey Peeps]

Never had ID checked either. I mean your picture is on the ticket, would be very harsh if a driver wasn't for handing it over without a passport or driving licence. 

[gooner1990]

I’ve been on the coach three times over the years…twice they checked ID and once they didn’t.

 

Depends on the driver tbh. 

[cheesey_toastie]

Never checked ID and been four times or so. 

We've even had a driver had the pile of tickets to one of the passengers who handed them out. She really enjoyed herself too!

[Lucy92]

Luck of the draw with drivers. I’ve had some times where they needed ID, others where they didn’t 

[mpdow2]

What about getting a ticket before boarding the coach. My partner wants to arrive Friday due to health reasons but our coach is 645am Wednesday. Think worst scenario she gets ticket at Glasto and goes back home and returns Friday but obviously would prefer to avoid that.

They are not allowed to do this. I would suggest this is unlikely to happen. Sometimes they don't hand them out until you're half way there. 

 

There are suggestions here that if that your ticket ends up at the box office if you don't get on the coach. I've never done it - I guess the festival could refuse entry. That would still mean your partner has to queue and go through extra checks to get the ticket. 

[mph]

Done coach three times, different every time,

 

First time, tickets on coach half way, no ID needed

Second, same but debit card as ID

Third, debit card ID, tickets before we got on the coach,

 

Tickets in hand two friends went off to travel in their car, driver does head count on bus and it's only short by one person, someone with a normal ticket got on to travel with their friend 

[timbrass]

Done coach 3 times.  Never been ID'd.  Twice my wife asked the driver if he wanted her to distribute tickets whilst he was driving and he was delighted to offload the task.  Daughter once was able to persuade a driver to give her ticket before departure.   probably OK if bus is on time, driver in a good mood and you are the only one asking... 

[Foxyknoxy]

Hi anyone who's travelled coaches before, are there plugs or uses on board to charge phones? Thanks

There wasn’t on the coach I got last time

[Phliphlup]

Getting jealous of all these reports of people arriving when some of us poor sods have got to wait almost 24 hours until even getting on a coach! 

 

If anyone's interested in a return journey swap let me know - my boyfriend and I have been allocated a 3pm return to Birmingham on Monday but would love to get home earlier if anyone wants a lie-in or has sorted an alternative route back. We actually live in Liverpool, so anywhere North West would be amazing!

See you all in the field soon(-ish)!

[RATM]

can someone please tell me when the first seeticket coach leaves Sunday night back to London? my flight was changed to 11 am, if I take my original one at 5:30 am I will miss the flight…
