West Midlands Trains have decided to replace their very convenient 20-minute train from Rugby with a 1-hour bus, and the earliest available gets in @ 9:30am. And they still expect me to pay full price. :x
I'm facing similar problems Richard. I can't find a train that gets there much before midday unfortunately, so I won't be any help on Sunday morning.

While on the subject of trains, I've re-arranged my travel plans so I won't need a parking pass on Friday, hopefully that makes things a bit easier.

Just to add - I will need to drop off my hire car at the airport before coming in to the show, so probably won’t be there for the start.

I can certainly make use of the car park pass and happily share with someone else on the Friday.

No worries - as long as someone is there Sunday morning we will be ok. First hour or two on Sunday is usually pretty quiet anyway.
