Customer experience director Philippa Cresswell said: “Last year, some festival-goers tried to board services with wheelie bins or festival trolleys full of beer.
“While it might seem like a great idea for getting your supplies to the festival, it just isn’t safe or possible to bring them on board train services.
“Our teams will be on hand at stations to support customers and help them complete their journeys, without their bins or trolleys, as smoothly as possible.”
The rail firm also said boot-cleaning brushes would be available for people heading home from the event with muddy footwear.
Meanwhile, people using East Midlands Airport have also been advised to factor in extra time if their travels coincide with the festival, which this year is being headlined by Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Guns N’ Roses.
