...if not, then there's this one (pic courtesy of Google Street View), The Leaning Phonebox of Cranmore, just outside the entrance to the ESR at Cranmore....

They might only have a camera and not a phone so unable to call a Taxi.

how do i order a taxi?
| Re: Glastonbury - Cometition for FGW? Posted by JayMac at 17:53, 13th May 2011 | |
By bus to Frome, then train. And you can get back to London on the Thursday if you so wish. And with a taxi to Castle Cary you can also get to most destinations in the north west.

Ok, so how do they get back on Friday?

Not every crank plans a bash as a day trip!
I'm struggling myself to plan for a mid summer trip to the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch, so may be looking at an overnight stay.

Jow do they get back from Cranmore at that time on a Thursday?

Priced @ ^70 return, through RailEasy.
Between ^3.00 and ^4.06 to be added for fees.
Given that the rail journey to Cranmore involves travelling over the Witham-Merehead quarry branch (which is freight-only and to the best of my knowledge only veyr rarely visited by passenger trains) I reckon there's a serious danger that track bashers could outnumber Glasto customers on that train!
I've checked the T&Cs and nothing there to say only valid with a Glasto ticket, so could well attract a few rail enthusiasts.

Cranmore is the main station on the East Somerset Railway.

Glastonbury 2011 ticket holders in London are being offered a new private train and shuttle bus service to take them to the festival site.
The Glastonbury Express will run from London Euston to Cranmore Station, where a shuttle bus will take fans on to the campsite.
Priced @ ^70 return, through RailEasy.

Although - reading the RailEasy site, it states that it is in conjunction with First Rail Support - so I'm wondering if this is an FGW idea to take the pressure off Paddington and the HSTs?
Where's Cranmore though?
