An NHS worker said he fears he will not be allowed into Glastonbury Festival after rail strikes hit his travel plans.
Huw, from Liverpool and who did not wish to share his second name, booked a coach ticket to Glastonbury in October 2019 before the event was later cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The 28-year-old patient-facing worker has since moved to Liverpool but his ticket requires him to travel via a festival-organised coach from Brighton at 7am on Wednesday.
He does not finish work until 9pm on Tuesday and the final train from Liverpool to London is at 4pm, so he has now spent £70 on the earliest available bus to the festival on Thursday morning hoping he will be allowed entrance. Huw said: "Festival tickets are given out on the coach, so there's a very real possibility that this rail strike means I can't actually get into the festival.
