Music festival now cancelled on fears of bad weather.

From the BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page):

Quote
The Boardmasters music festival has been cancelled due to warnings of severe weather conditions.

The three-day event headlined by the Wu-Tang Clan, Florence + The Machine and Foals, was to take place in Newquay, Cornwall, this weekend.

However, organisers pulled the plug due to "forecasted severe weather conditions", they said.

They said the decision to cancel was made after the festival consulted police and independent safety advisers.

From GWR (Great Western Railway) website

Quote
Boardmasters Music Festival Cancelled

Due to forecast severe weather, we have been advised by the event organisers that the Boardmasters Music Festival, due to take place from Wednesday 7th to Sunday 11th August in Newquay, has been cancelled. 

 

Train Service Alteration:

GWR are planning to operate a special timetable during the event, with extra trains to and from Newquay to convey the large passenger numbers expected. We have not yet confirmed whether this will remain in place or whether it will be withdrawn, please ensure you check the GWR website to remain up to date with the latest train service information before travelling https://www.journeycheck.com/greatwesternrailway/

 

Ticket Easements:

Train Ticket arrangements are yet to be confirmed, and should the service be amended this will be published shortly afterward. For any information regarding refunds please visit our Delay Repay page https://www.gwr.com/help-and-support/refunds-and-compensation/delay-repay

 

More information regarding the event itself can be found here https://www.boardmasters.com

The Boardmasters Web Team advise that due to the heavy demand the site may take a few moments to load and appreciate your patience.

People tweeting GWR (Great Western Railway) about refunds with an announcement due first thing this morning.

Feel for those who were due to attend the event but the weather forecast for the next few days is awful so the right decision has had to be made.

If GWR has any compassion they would offer a full refund foregoing any administration fee.

Whether festival goers will get a refund on their festival tickets is another matter.

What about all the small traders having bought in stock for this event, might a new Cornish deliciousey arise out of this, Roll, Bap, Butter, Burger, Sausage and Pasty Pudding ?

Facilities on the 09:03 London Paddington to Newquay due 14:30.
This is due to a fault on this train.

If the event is cancelled then the vast majority won’t be travelling down to Cornwall today surely?

True - but the significant number of folk already there will presumably want to return home.

Yes, that’s where the problems are more likely to surface, though some, especially those who’ve booked accommodation, will presumably stay there now they’ve made the effort to get down there?

Off that BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) webpage...

Quote
Rail operator GWR (Great Western Railway) tweeted that those with return tickets from Newquay between now and Monday "can use their returns today from 09:30".

Responding to one customer, it added that those with "refundable tickets can get refunds if they don't travel, we are still discussing options for the non-refundable Advance fares and will share more once known".

@GWRHelp: @SamJack63979389 We have just recently made the decision to refund even normally non-refundable Advance fares for Boardmasters customers and are in the process of briefing the contact centre currently.  Where did you buy the ticket? -Andy

There's now also an additional 9-car IET (Intercity Express Train) running Newquay to Plymouth at 12:27.

Excellent news regarding the tickets.  Great customer service.
