==Transport== {{see also|Transport in Somerset}} Significant logistical operations take place to bring people into the festival by public transport each year. Additional festival trains are provided to [[Castle Cary railway station]], mostly from [[Paddington railway station|London Paddington]].<ref name=railroutes>{{cite web |title=Rail Travel to and from Glastonbury Festival |url=http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/seasonal/Glastonbury/Glasto_2011.html |publisher=National Rail Enquiries |access-date=29 June 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110621235509/http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/seasonal/Glastonbury/Glasto_2011.html |archive-date=21 June 2011}}</ref> The station operates as a mini hub with waiting shuttle buses transferring passengers from Castle Cary to the festival site as required. This is an intensive operation on the Wednesday and Thursday each year with local bus and coach operators providing these buses over the two days. Additional extra buses normally provided by [[Go South Coast]] run from [[Bristol]] to the festival.<ref name=railroutes /> On the Monday, passengers are transferred back in just one day with additional buses provided to meet the increased requirement. [[National Express Coaches|National Express]] provide extra coaches direct to the festival site from major UK towns and much of this work is subcontracted to smaller coach operators to provide the capacity required.<ref>{{cite web |title=Glastonbury Festival |url=http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach_ims/NXC7958GlastonburyTimetableLeafletV4.pdf |publisher=National Express |access-date=29 June 2011 |archive-date=27 June 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110627160342/http://www.nationalexpress.com/coach_ims/NXC7958GlastonburyTimetableLeafletV4.pdf |url-status=live}}</ref>
