Disruptions

Principality Stadium Events – Summer 2024

Due to several large-scale events in Cardiff, disruptions to some services are expected.

We will be populating this page with updates for the upcoming events as they become available to us from operators and local authorities.

The upcoming events are as follows:

Billy Joel

Friday 9 August

Speedway

Saturday 17 August


If you’re travelling to any of the events, please be aware that (for safety reasons) there will be some city centre road closure in place. This means bus services will need to divert and use different stops.

Due to large number of people expected to attend these events, public transport services are expected to be extremely busy.

Bus services will not call at the Cardiff Bus Interchange between 11:30 - 19:30. 

For any further help with planning your journey on the day, you can ring our Freephone number on 0800 464 00 00 from 7am to 8pm daily.

Please check the below arrangements by operators before traveling. We will continue updating this page with more information as we receive it from operators:
