Nick Newcombe, general manager at National Express West Midlands, said: "Our passengers receive priority access to the festival, so they can enjoy every minute of the music without worrying about growing car park queues and it's much cheaper than the cost of petrol."

"V is one of the highlights of the year for us.

"Moving up to 12,000 music fans over four days take a lot of preparation and hard work but it's also very rewarding.

"Our drivers will cover an amazing 20,000 miles this weekend, helping to remove hundreds of cars from the road and greatly reducing the effect of congestion around the site."
