🏉 Exciting times ahead as Wales gears up to host France for a Six Nations showdown this Sunday, February 15th, at the Principality Stadium! Kick-off is at 3:10 pm, and whether you’re cheering for Wales or just soaking up the atmosphere, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your day.
🚗 **Travel and Road Closures**: Expect road closures in Cardiff city centre from 11 am to 7:15 pm, given the massive influx of fans. The M4 will be busier than usual, so if you’re driving, plan for some delays. Avoid the city centre by car if possible—better yet, go for public transport!
🚊 **Trains and Public Transport**: Both Great Western Railway and Transport for Wales are putting on extra services to keep everyone moving. But remember, trains will be packed post-match with queuing systems in place at Cardiff Central. Cardiff Queen Street station will also be closed except for accessible travel and Cardiff Bay services.
🅿️ **Parking & Park and Ride**: If you’re driving, consider using the park & ride at Vindico Arena, operating from 9:30 am (£15 cash only). Alternatively, event-day parking is available at Civic Centre and Sophia Gardens (£20 for cars). Plan to arrive early as spots fill up quickly!
🚴 **Buses, Taxis, Cycling, and Walking**: With various local diversions in place, check with bus operators for route info. Cycling and walking within the city centre remain excellent options to beat the traffic!
🎒 **Fan Tips**: Arrive early and remember the stadium’s bag policy—large bags aren’t allowed. Stay updated on traffic news through Traffic Wales. Most importantly, enjoy the match and be part of what promises to be a roaring day of rugby passion!
Whether you’re a die-hard rugby fan or just out for a thrilling day, Cardiff’s buzzing atmosphere awaits. 🏴 🇫🇷 Let the games begin!
