Having noted that The Wurzels are on the bill, a friend of mine has already suggested that we both go there and back by train.... hopefully the final service of the day at 22.57 will mean that we won't have to leave before the event winds up.
I also noticed that the event website encourages use of the train to get there but warns anyone wishing to use the Portway Park and Ride that it closes at 21.30. That would possibly mean having to leave earlier than preferred. Now it may not be Glasto but surely a proper way to promote MetroWest and it's benefits would be to have the P&R^▸ open a bit longer, even if just for good publicity.

If the event pushes the end of service on the Severn Beach line there are benefits in the event organisers and GWR^▸ collaborating - the likes of Scotrail would be looking to enhance/extend the service to meet the travel needs of people attending.

(The other side of that coin is that GWR has a rolling stock famine...)

Now of course if Pilning had some lights on its one remaining platform you could run a shuttle bus from the event that is providing that you can find a key to the gates !!!....

takes place on Saturday 13 July starting at 3pm.

The event organiser has requested that attendees come by train, just hoping the returning trains can cope with the extra passengers.
