Which railway station is served by Glastonbury festival shuttle buses?

The story behind the answer

Which railway station is served by Glastonbury Festival shuttle buses? Castle Cary is the station used by festival shuttle buses.

Castle Cary, in Somerset, becomes a temporary transport hub during the festival. Extra trains—especially from London Paddington—bring passengers to the station, where shuttle buses transfer them onward to Worthy Farm near Pilton. The arrangement helps large numbers of ticket holders reach the site without everyone having to drive.

The service is particularly intensive on the Wednesday and Thursday, when most campers arrive. Additional buses are also used for the return journey on the Monday. National Express and other coach operators provide separate direct services, so not every festival bus journey begins at Castle Cary.

A common mix-up is Glastonbury itself: the town is several miles from the festival site, and the festival is not held at a railway station. Taunton and Bath Spa are important regional stations, but Castle Cary is the named rail-and-shuttle interchange for the event.
