Glastonbury Festival trains update as planned strikes set to cause issues

Great Western Railway (GWR) has warned Glastonbury Festival-goers to expect some timetable alterations, should a planned strike go ahead. Contingency plans are being put in place in the hope that trains can be maintained between Castle Cary and London Paddington throughout the course of the festival.

GWR has said that there may be some timetable changes and customers who have already booked seats and are affected will be contacted. It added that customers should look out for an amended timetable next week.

The strikes are due to take place on June 21, 23 and 25. A spokesperson said: "We recommend customers who have already bought their train tickets between London and Castle Cary should check that amended plan before either changing their travel arrangements or submitting a refund request for their train ticket.

"Other parts of the GWR network are likely to be more affected by the strike action and customers may need to consider alternative ways to travel to a station serving Castle Cary.

"Customers traveling from outside the GWR network should check connecting services with their local train operator. For more information, see our strike page. Monday 27 June – We plan to run a normal service for customers returning from Castle Cary after the festival, please see our further travel advice here."

Glastonbury Festival is taking place from Wednesday June 22 to Sunday, June 26.
