Delays to services at Cardiff Central

Due to overcrowding because of a sporting event at Cardiff Central trains have to run at reduced speed. Train services through this station may be subject to disruption on all routes. Disruption is expected until 21:45 15/03.

Additional Information
A major sporting event has taken place in Cardiff today, and many fans are making their way home.

In order for us, and TfW to run safely, it has been necessary to delay trains in and out of the station, as well as in the station whilst passengers board their trains.

On departure from Cardiff Central, trains in all directions have been reported as being extremely busy.

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
