Shuttle bus to transport music lovers to and from Truck Festival

Thames Travel will be providing a shuttle bus service to and from Truck Festival as music lovers count down to the annual event.

This year’s festival will be headlined by major acts including Kaiser Chiefs, The Libertines, The Wombats, and Two Door Cinema Club.

Very limited tickets are available for the event, which will take place between Thursday 23rd July and Sunday 26th July.

Whether festivalgoers are camping or travelling in for the day, Thames Travel will be providing transport between Didcot Parkway and the festival site at Hill Farm in Steventon.

The £15 adult weekend fare provides excellent value, providing unlimited travel on the shuttle bus and services ST1, X2, NX2 and X36 between 23rd July and 27th July. Meanwhile, a single adult fare costs just £8, while adult open return tickets are priced at £12.

“We’re delighted to be providing a shuttle bus service to the festival, offering a cost-effective and convenient way to travel.
