Headline: RAW VIDEO: Sam Ryder Serenades Festival-Goers On Glastonbury Bound Train
Caption: Popstar Sam Ryder treated festivalgoers heading to Glastonbury by train on Thursday afternoon to an impromptu concert. Sam, who will play a full set at the event on Sunday, played a short gig in one of the carriages - to the delight of those letting the train take the strain on their journey to Worthy Farm, Somerset. After getting on at London’s Paddington Station, Sam surprised unsuspecting passengers by picking up the conductor’s mic and making cheerful and cheeky announcements before launching into a performance as the train rolled through the English countryside. The Spaceman singer led passengers in singalongs of festival favourites and personal hits. Sam’s journey to Glastonbury was part of the ongoing ‘I came by train’ campaign supported by Trainline, encouraging travellers to choose the train as a low-carbon, joyful way to get to major summer events like Glastonbury. Sam said: "The energy on that train was unreal. ‘I came by train’ is all about doing something good for the planet — and having a great time doing it.” The surprise gig follows the unveiling of the ‘Train Ryder’ train at London Paddington on Monday, which saw Sam step out of a carriage as the latest “climate hero” in the campaign — a movement that celebrates low-carbon choices and urges festivalgoers to rethink their travel habits. The ‘Train Ryder’ train, signed by Sam himself, will be in service throughout the summer. With transport being the highest contributing sector in the UK for carbon emissions, switching to rail is one of the most impactful changes individuals can make. ‘I came by train’ is spotlighting the role trains can play in cutting carbon without sacrificing experience — with Sam’s gig aiming to make it part of the festival experience.
