Glastonbury festival-goers descend on Castle Cary station

Castle Cary is normally one of the quietest stations on the First Great Western network, seeing around 1000 passengers pass through it each day.
But, during Glastonbury Festival week, the station turns into the central hub for revelers traveling to the festival - with passenger numbers increasing by five or six times that number.
This video shows the transformation on day one of the festival this year.
Over the course of the festival First Great Western will be providing more than 50 extra trains and 13,000 extra seats to help get customers to Glastonbury, avoiding thousands of additional car journeys to the site.

Cool video! Must say all the FGW staff at Castle Cary were amazing both on our way in and out of Glastonbury! Thank you.

Well done, more trains and lots more staff, it's nice to see you making an effort to make it all go smoothly. Nice video.

Glastonbury Festival will never be the same again now you can't travel there on a HST!

Nicely done

That makes sense.. Thanks for the straight answer. Its a shame you cant get hold of more rolling stock for day to day services... Maybe loco and coaches for the congested services in devon please!!!

[@simonp1970]

Wow, where did all those extra trains that you haven't got come from? Its amazing that most people that have to endure FGW have to put up with heavily overcrowded trains and now all of a sudden you can find carriages for not just thousands of people but luggage too!!!!!

Love it! Shame about the amount of high vis but oh well

[@andrewchurm6453]

Nice video. Does anyone know what the music is?

"Castle Cary is normally one of the *quality* stations on the First Great Western network, seeing around 1000 passengers pass through it each day". Not doubting its quality, but maybe not quite the word you were going for here :P. You should be crediting the music you use!
