julietSo. It is probably about time to buy train tickets for Glastonbury, since it's around a month away.
Previous experience indicates that one has to do this In Person. The National Rail timetable thinks that the direct trains are available at 0933 and 1235 (takes about 1 hr 40), but again, previous experience indicates that they may lay on extras for the occasion. However, if wishing to book, we might need to go for one of those.
I am inclined to the 0933 - get there nice & early before it's *entirely* rammed & there starts being a queue to get in. We managed this fine last year. I think the 1235 is a bit late - we wouldn't get onsite till about 1500.
We cannot book a particular train on the way back - they won't let you.
So. Who wants to travel with Pete & me, & therefore wants me to get them train tickets? Let me know if you have a YP card. I want to do this *soon* before all the trains book up (I booked about a week into June last time, & we got some of the last seats IIRC).
Update: Now done - if you're not one of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
