Get to Glastonbury in one of the greenest ways possible with National Express

Glastonbury is more than just a festival – it’s an experience. From the music to the performances, it’s the perfect way to make memories. But did you know you can also help the planet while getting there? That’s right – by hopping on a National Express coach instead of driving your own car, you’ll save big on carbon emissions and make your festival trip even greener. Here’s why coach travel is the way to go:

Major Carbon Savings

Choosing a coach over your car isn’t just about comfort and convenience – it’s also about making a real difference to the environment. Just check out these stats:

✅ 60.0% less carbon emissions per person – By taking a coach, each festival-goer saves around 26.2 kg of CO₂ compared to traveling by car (1). That’s the same as planting 0.44 trees, with each tree absorbing around 60 kg of CO₂ over its lifetime (2).
✅ The real impact – The carbon saved per person could power a 100W light bulb for around 299 hours (3). That’s over 12 days of continuous light!

Fuel and Energy Savings

Saving the planet doesn’t stop at carbon – the fuel savings are just as impressive:

✅ Fuel savings per person – Each coach traveler avoids the use of approximately 12.6 liters of petrol (average biofuel blend) (4). That’s enough to fill up about a quarter of a car’s fuel tank.
✅ Energy savings per person – The carbon savings from traveling by coach instead of by car could power an average UK home for 1.5 days (5).

Coach Travel: A Competitive Green Choice

Think electric cars are the greenest way to travel? Think again! The carbon saved per person by choosing coach travel could fuel an electric car for around 126 miles (6). That’s the equivalent of driving from London to Glastonbury – and back again!
