Travel
advice for all supporters
However you travel, please plan your journey and allow sufficient time
to spare. The earlier the better. Note where your coach or car is parked
and do not leave valuables in your vehicles.
The roads around the Millennium Stadium are pedestrianised two hours
before kick-off and one hour after the final whistle. A traffic free
environment allows ease of access for fans, visitors and residents and
is strictly controlled. For public safety vehicles illegally parked
will be removed. Park-and-ride services are laid on around Cardiff to
get you to the city centre so please use them for there is limited parking
within the city itself.
Have some cash for the Severn Bridge tolls - you have to pay to come
into Wales via the M4 or M48. Toll booths are on the westbound carriageway
shortly after the new crossing (M4) or just before the old bridge (M48)
- they also take cheques but do not take credit or debit cards. The
charges for 2006 are £4.90 for cars, £9.80 minibuses and £14.70 coaches.
There is no charge on the eastbound carriageway heading from Wales into
England.
Check public transport - call Traveline on 0870 6082608 for information
about buses, coaches and rail services throughout Wales. Travelling
by rail will bring you into Cardiff Central Station, just 2 minutes
walk from the Millennium Stadium. (Please book tickets in advance).
Go by plane - budget flights to Cardiff International Airport
are now available from a range of cities including London (City), Belfast,
Edinburgh and Glasgow. The journey from airport to stadium takes around
30 to 40 minutes by the X91 Airbus Express (£4 one-way) or by taxi (around
£16).
Go by waterbus - if you're staying in Penarth or Cardiff Bay,
you can take a boat trip to the Stadium up the River Taff. See www.cardiffwaterbus.com
for details.
