Because it's easy enough for southerners, northerners and Plymouth type people to get to. Then why not Bognor Regis? Because it's not easy to get to.

If you travel at peak time both ways, buying the return on the day of travel, it's £79 from Luton So not £80+ at all, unless you're planning to travel first class! (And since the Luton route goes via London anyway, it'd be cheaper for you capitalists!) In that case... First Great Western over-charged me!!! FEEL MY WRATH!;D

People who leave Luton bother to get a return ticket? Unfortunately, I've yet to find a train that'll allow me to take my job, house and dog with me. Bloody pet discriminators Can you not just pay a baggage surcharge like on Britannia Airlines?

What's so good about Bristol? I have only ever passed through it on the way to Glastonbury! Have you been to Glastonbury Trav? Yes, 5 times (I think) Billy. Which makes the fact that I've missed out on tickets on the last 4 occasions a very bitter pill to swallow.

And it's at all rates better than *anywhere* in the Midlands! Do you have a problem with the Midlands then Jules? No! I even defended Brumland earlier on this thread! However, Bristol is nicer than any other large town/city I can think of in the Midlands!

What's so good about Bristol? I have only ever passed through it on the way to Glastonbury! I quite like it, had a couple of good days/nights out there! And it's at all rates better than *anywhere* in the Midlands! Well Julian, If I do go I'll drive and give you a lift old boy. I try not to do public transport

Yeah Jules - what's wrong with the Midlands? Birmingham obviously has the best train links, no matter where you are travelling from - there are direct trains from Leeds, London, Bristol - almost anywhere!

Birmingham obviously has the best train links, no matter where you are travelling from - there are direct trains from Leeds, London, Bristol - almost anywhere! They suck! ;D Get out of there while you can! I grant you Brumland is a rail hub - but so is Reading, and nobody wants to go there... do they?! ;D

I think Sheffield's are marginally better, actually - but either way, both being approximately in the middle of England, that's unsurprising!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I have been twice Are you gonna try and get tickets this year? Tis the finest place on Earth between the Wednesday and Sunday of that Solstice week! I know you went last year, but did you manage a good one as well, weather wise? I'll be trying again (I think registration is next month), I'll be online and on the phone that morning, frantically dialling and refreshing websites, but I'm not optimistic!
