How to get to Glastonbury in train strike as festival-goers set for travel misery

Glastonbury festival-goers will be affected by the rail strikes called by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union.

The strikes are scheduled for June 21, 23 and 25 and will see union members at Network Rail and 13 train operators walk out in protest over pay and pension disputes. The Aslef union will strike in a separate dispute.

RMT said: "It has to be re-stated that the source of these disputes is the decision by the Tory Government to cut £4bn of funding from our transport systems - £2bn from national rail and £2bn from Transport for London."
