Warning to train passengers ahead of rugby match

Train passengers heading to see two West Country rugby teams play in Cardiff are being urged to allow extra time for their journeys.

Bristol Bears will take on Bath Rugby at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday.

Great Western Railway (GWR) said an extra 10,000 train seats had been provided as a result.

GWR Director of Operations Richard Rowland said the service is expected to be busy despite services being reservation only.

"We advise people to travel early and check before you travel. A queueing system will also be in place at Cardiff station after the game, ensuring people can board their train safely," he added.
