[BD] Galstonbury

[Graham McGill]

I was looking into getting a train to Glastonbury (before I found someone in 
my team with space in a car) and did some google-based research earlier this 
week on the suggestion of the TD who apparently didn't have such information 
to hand.

Glastonbury doesn't have a train station, the closest station is Castle 
Cary, about 9 miles away which has a bus service to Street.  Street, on 
Multimap, seems to be about 2 cow-fields from Glastonbury, but maps can lie! 
  Or you can presumably get a taxi.  See these sites:

I was also leaning towards getting a train to Taunton, which is a bit 
further away but seems to have a bus service to Glastonbury.  See this link:

TD also suggested training to Briston and asking on BD for a lift from there 
where presumably a lot of people will be going from.  All this is off 
websites and not at all based on personal experience, hope it helps though.

Good luck,
  Graham
