Oasis Travel FAQs
If you're heading to the Principality Stadium or heading around Cardiff City Centre during Friday 4th and Saturday 5th July, take a look below at your options.
Road Closures
From 7am, Scott Road and Park Street will be closed because of the need to prepare Gate 5 and protect queuing fans.

- Station Terrace and Guildford Street from the junction with Newport Road to the junction with Churchill Way will be access for buses only during the times of the road closures. This is to ensure that there is reliable access for buses to the satellite points in Churchill Way.
Access to part of the Civic Centre will be controlled throughout the day, with access allowed only for event parking, limited commuter parking, loading and access to private car parks. Roads affected include King Edward VII Avenue, Museum Avenue, City Hall Road, College Road and Gorsedd Gardens Road.
Trains
To help manage the expected increase in passenger numbers, Transport for Wales (TfW) and Great Western Railway (GWR) will operate additional and trains with more carriages than usual to get customers to and from the events smoothly.
However, some engineering works may impact TfW and GWR services and passengers are urged to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journey – https://www.journeycheck.com/tfwrail/
The start of Oasis’s sell-out tour will see GWR operate six extra trains to get people home again, providing almost 4,000 additional seats, for each of the two nights.
For all events, those looking to travel by train are warned to check the time of their last train home, and to allow plenty of time. A queuing system will begin from 10pm and the queuing for mainline rail services will be on Central Square with the Valley queues at the rear of the station.

Please also note important changes to station operations on event days:
- Cardiff Bus Interchange will close at 3pm
- Cardiff Queen Street Station will close at 10pm, unless customers have accessible requirements or are travelling to Cardiff Bay.
Revenue Protection Inspectors will conduct ticket checks both before and after the events.
