Wales take on France in their second home game of this year’s Six Nation season on Friday 21 February.
Kick off is at 8.00pm and a crowd of 74,000 is expected at the game. Cardiff Council is advising people to allow plenty of time to get into the city for the match.
The best way to travel to the game is by public transport and coach wherever possible. Those bringing their cars into the city can ease worries over congestion and parking costs by using the Council’s park and ride service.
Park and ride is available at Cardiff City Football Club, Leckwith, the cost is £6 per car and can be accessed from J33 of the M4.
The drop off and pick up point will be Tresillian Way North, at the rear of the railway station.
The car park will have a staff presence from 12 noon and will open at 12.30pm, with the first bus at 12.30pm. The last bus will leave the pick-up point at 11:30pm, with the car park closing at midnight.
Coach parking will be provided off Sophia Close – there are dedicated coach parking areas with driver facilities. The cost is £10:00 per coach. Any event car parking in Sophia Close will also be £10 as the car park is within a five minute walk of the stadium.
The route to the front of the rail station, Station Approach in Central Square from its junction with Wood St, will be closed from 2pm – midnight, with access for buses to the bus station maintained outside of the full road closure times.
