Cranmore is the main station on the East Somerset Railway. |

Given that the rail journey to Cranmore involves travelling over the Witham-Merehead quarry branch (which is freight-only and to the best of my knowledge only veyr rarely visited by passenger trains) I reckon there's a serious danger that track bashers could outnumber Glasto customers on that train!

Priced @ ^70 return, through RailEasy.
Between ^3.00 and ^4.06 to be added for fees. Given that the rail journey to Cranmore involves travelling over the Witham-Merehead quarry branch (which is freight-only and to the best of my knowledge only veyr rarely visited by passenger trains) I reckon there's a serious danger that track bashers could outnumber Glasto customers on that train!
I've checked the T&Cs and nothing there to say only valid with a Glasto ticket, so could well attract a few rail enthusiasts. |

Not every crank plans a bash as a day trip!
I'm struggling myself to plan for a mid summer trip to the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch, so may be looking at an overnight stay.

Maybe there's a working payphone in here..... http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/35392676.jpg...if not, then there's this one (pic courtesy of Google Street View), The Leaning Phonebox of Cranmore, just outside the entrance to the ESR▸ at Cranmore....     |
