Travel Advice for Bruce Springsteen on 5th May in Cardiff

The M4 motorway is expected to be very busy due to this concert – so please plan ahead – and avoid the congestion in Cardiff by using the park & ride at the former Toy’s R Us site car park in the Sports Village – CF11 0JS.

For up to date traffic information on the motorway and trunk roads go to the Traffic Wales website, or @TrafficWalesS on Twitter and Facebook.

Those attending the concert are strongly advised to plan their journey and get in early. Please pay attention to the prohibited items listed at principalitystadium.wales, in particular the bag policy (no large bags permitted) before travelling into the city.

Road closures

From 7am, Scott Road and Park Street will be closed because of the need to prepare Gate 5 and protect queuing fans.

The following roads will be closed as part of the full city centre road closure which will take place at 2pm until midnight.

• Kingsway from its junction with North Road to its junction with Duke Street.
• Cowbridge Road East from its junction with Cathedral Road to its junction with Westgate Street.

• Station Terrace and Guildford Street from the junction with Newport Road to the junction with Churchill Way will be access for buses only during the times of the road closures. This is to ensure that there is reliable access for buses to the satellite points in Churchill Way.
• Additionally, Penarth Road will be closed 30 minutes before the concert finishes and up to hour after the concert ends on safety grounds for train passengers arriving and departing from the train station.

Additions:

Civic Centre: Access to part of the Civic Centre will be controlled throughout the day, with access allowed only for event parking, limited commuter parking, loading and access to private car parks.

Roads affected include King Edward VII Avenue, Museum Avenue, City Hall Road, College Road and Gorsedd Gardens Road.

Trains

Transport for Wales will be providing additional capacity where possible on routes in/out of Cardiff on Sunday 5 May but there are a reduced number of services on a Sunday and trains are expected to be very busy, so please allow plenty of time for your journey.

Post-event queues for mainline rail services will be on Central Square and queues for Valleys services will be to the rear of the station. Cardiff Queen Street will close at 21:30 except for accessible access and passengers that wish to travel to Cardiff Bay.

Due to the timing of the event, there are no post-event services to Birmingham or North Wales.
Visit www.tfw.wales or the new TfW app for the latest travel information.

If you have any issues on the railway, please speak to a conductor or, for more serious matters, you can text the British Transport Police on 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40. In an emergency, always call 999.
Great Western Railway (GWR)

GWR will run additional services to help customers get home after the concert. Extra trains will operate from Cardiff Central to Swansea, Newport, Bristol and Swindon; with plenty of parking available at station car parks.

Trains are, however, expected to be very busy immediately after the concert and a queueing system will be in place outside the station to help people board trains safely.
Those travelling from further afield should check connecting services, and the time of their last train home, at www.gwr.com/check.

Can you cycle or walk?

Those who live locally in Cardiff may want to travel by bicycle or walk. Research shows us that 52% of car trips made in the Welsh capital are less than 5km. This is a distance that can be comfortably cycled in 20 minutes.

We also know that 28% of Cardiff residents who currently do not cycle would like to do so.

When the roads are congested this makes cycling an even more attractive option as travel by bicycle would be quicker than a car during rush hours or during big events.

Shopping Parking

City centre car parks are also available: North Road Car Parks, St David’s Shopping Centre, John Lewis, Capitol Shopping Centre, and NCP (Adam Street, Dumfries Place and Greyfriars Road).

Disabled parking

Disabled drivers are advised to use Sophia Gardens. Disabled parking is also available at various private car parks.

Mae disgwyl i draffordd yr M4 fod yn brysur iawn oherwydd y cyngerdd, felly cynlluniwch ymlaen llaw ac osgoi’r tagfeydd yng Nghaerdydd drwy ddefnyddio’r cyfleusterau parcio a theithio ym maes parcio hen safle Toys R Us yn y Pentref Chwaraeon – CF11 0JS.

Gallwch chi weld gwybodaeth gyfredol am y draffordd a chefnffyrdd ar wefan Traffig Cymru, neu @TrafficWalesS ar Twitter a Facebook.

National Express:

Allwch chi feicio neu gerdded?

Gall y rheini sy’n byw yng Nghaerdydd fod eisiau beicio neu gerdded. Mae ymchwil yn dangos bod 52% o’r teithiau car ym mhrifddinas Cymru yn llai na 5km o hyd. Mae hwn yn bellter y gellir ei feicio’n braf mewn 20 munud.

Gwyddom hefyd yr hoffai 28% o drigolion Caerdydd nad ydyn nhw’n seiclo ar hyn o bryd roi cynnig arni.
Pan fo tagfeydd ar y ffyrdd, mae hyn yn gwneud beicio yn ddewis mwy atyniadol fyth oherwydd byddai teithio ar feic yn gynt nag yn y car yn ystod oriau brig neu ddigwyddiadau mawr.

Parcio i Siopwyr

Mae meysydd parcio ar gael yng nghanol y ddinas hefyd: Meysydd Parcio Heol y Gogledd; Canolfan Siopa Dewi Sant; John Lewis; Canolfan Siopa Capitol ac NCP (Stryd Adam, Plas Dumfries a Heol y Brodyr Llwydion).

Parcio i Bobl Anabl

Argymhellir bod gyrwyr anabl yn defnyddio Gerddi Sophia. Mae lleoedd parcio i bobl anabl hefyd ar gael mewn meysydd parcio preifat amrywiol.

Gweler argaeledd ar wefannau unigol.

Tacsis

Bydd safle tacsis Heol Eglwys Fair (y tu allan i House of Fraser) yn cau am 2pm ac yn ailagor am hanner nos.
