Rugby World Cup to improve Cardiff transport links

Following three Rugby World Cup 2015 matches at the Millennium Stadium, key transport providers in Cardiff have agreed with tournament organisers England Rugby 2015 to make a number of changes to the transport operation for the remaining five matches in Cardiff. 

The transport providers and tournament organisers have listened to feedback from fans and will implement a number of changes to help improve the passenger experience for rugby fans. 

Lynne Milligan, Customer Services Director at Arriva Trains Wales, commented: "Getting everyone safely on their train home in the most effective way remains our most important priority. 

"The changes being made at these events will help us to better achieve this aim, to the benefit of all our customers. We are also determined to ensure that those not attending the rugby and relying on train services experience the least possible inconvenience.” 

A spokesman for Great Western Railway said: "We've worked with Arriva and Network Rail to make sure we can get more trains into and out of Cardiff Central earlier, and get fans on their way as safely and quickly as possible after the match."
