Coach travel move for Glastonbury revellers

The number of music fans travelling to this year’s Glastonbury Festival by coach is to increase by 25,000 under plans revealed today to cut down on the amount of traffic at the event.

The move, announced by Melvyn Benn, managing director of the Mean Fiddler, which holds the licence for the festival, is aimed at boosting the ’green’ credentials of the legendary three-day festival, which is being held at Worthy Farm in Somerset in June.
