🏉🏟️ Rugby fans, get ready! The Welsh rugby team is all set to launch their autumn international series against Argentina on Sunday, November 9th at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. With matches against Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa also lined up, the city is gearing up for a rugby extravaganza! 🌍
Expect Cardiff to be buzzing, especially with full city centre road closures from 11 am to 7:15 pm on match day to ensure smooth entry and exit for all ticket holders. Major roads including Kingsway, Cowbridge Road East, and Tudor Street will be affected. Penarth Road will also shut down for an hour post-match to handle the train crowd safely.
🚌🚉 Public transport is beefing up! Great Western Railway (GWR) and Transport for Wales (TfW) are running extra train services. Just a heads up, all trains will be reservation only, so snag your seats in advance. Plus, a queuing system will be in place at Cardiff Central.
🚗 Prefer to drive? Make use of the park and ride at Sports Village, Cardiff Bay – it’s just £15, cash only. For those closer, Civic Centre and Sophia Gardens offer parking but be ready to pay on the spot (£20 for cars and £30 for coaches).
🚶♂️🚴♀️ Why not avoid the hustle and cycle or walk? Cardiff’s cycleways remain open during road closures, but do take care with the influx of attendees.
Planning to use buses? Be sure to check routes as services will be diverted due to road closures. National Express coaches will continue to operate from Sophia Gardens.
