Extra trains are being provided by Great Western Railway (GWR) for concertgoers travelling home after the concert by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium next Sunday, 5 May.

After the end of the concert, Great Western Railway will run nine extra services, but they are all expected to be very busy.

From Cardiff to Swansea, there will be three extra services, with the first departing at 22.44.

There will be six services to Newport, with the first departing at 22.44. These will then continue to either Bristol Temple Meads or Swindon.

As is usual for large events at the Principality Stadium, such as after the Harry Styles concert last year and Six Nations rugby matches, a queuing system will be in place outside the station.

Fans travelling east towards Newport will need to queue on the square in front of Cardiff Central station instead of in Riverside Car Park.

Where possible, Transport for Wales will also provide additional space on trains to and from Cardiff, but, as with Great Western Railway services, they are expected to be very busy.

Travel information about Transport for Wales services can be found at www.tfw.wales or the new Transport for Wales app.

Gates at the Principality Stadium for concertgoers will open at 16.00 and the concert is expected to finish at about 22.30.

Principality Stadium is expecting nearly 50,000 people to attend the Bruce Springsteen concert this Sunday, many of whom will choose to do so taking advantage of the ease of travelling by train.

Previous events on this scale have shown that our trains get extremely busy, and people will need to queue outside the station to board trains safely.

We encourage all who are using these services to check journey times and connections at gwr.com/check and allow sufficient time to complete your journey home.
