A healthcare worker who is hoping to attend the 2022 Glastonbury Festival says he is worried he will not make it due to the rail strikes. The iconic event returns tomorrow for the first time in three years after an enforced Covid break of two years.
However, today's (June 21) strikes from Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union members have forced train operators across Britain to limit their services, with most not running after 6.30pm. This is set to cause issues for those travelling to Glastonbury, where many festival-goers make their way on trains that stop at nearby Castle Cary station.
The limited timetables are also causing issues for NHS worker Huw, who did not wish to share his surname, as he faces problems getting to where he needs to be ahead of the festival. Huw, 28, works in Liverpool and needs to get to Brighton, where he used to live, to get a 7am coach to Glastonbury as part of his ticket to the event.
