Any top tips on where to park if we're driving down from Caerphilly Travelodge the morning of the gig please? North Road car park seems a bit close so I imagine could be really busy... happy to park a bit of a walk out of town to avoid the madness!

I am harbouring a hope that something will come out. Kieran Evans is with them filming the tour, so there has to be a chance that is for some sort of DVD extra?

More travel info from Arriva Trains Wales for Friday:
http://www.arrivatrainswales.co.uk/onedirection/ Incidentally, it's worth checking the train times again, they may have changed. I live in Newbridge and thought the last train back there was going to be 23:05 as usual, but it's running half an hour later according to Arriva's website...

I'll be there with my other half. I don't think she knows what she's letting herself in for with THB set, whenever I put it on in the car she tells me to turn it off! We are driving from Cambridge on Friday.
Also interested in any parking tips. |

Parking tips: Grangetown, Roath & Cathays are the nearest inner city areas that'll give you a half hour walk or less. Look at Penarth Road (no further out than the junction with Sloper Road), Albany Road, and if you get in early perhaps the metered parking on Senghenydd Road.

Are there still these planned rail works for Cardiff at the weekend? I'm sure I read somewhere that even if the strike is called off that transport would still be disrupted.
Ignore that, I just saw Anaconda Vice's post with the link. Cheers |

Out of interest (and I know I could look this up - I'm lazy) - what is the capacity of Cardiff Castle for this concert?

Off the top of my head I think the venue has 10k capacity approx (although i'm sure I read on fb The Wire saying thankyou for buying the 8k tickets.)

Apparently there will be 70k One Direction fans in the streets of Cardiff. We are far too outnumbered D:

Does anyone know a website where I can stream BBC Two Wales (free)?
iPlayer doesn't work for me as I'm outside the UK.
