Anyone been on a train yet? What's the situation like? I bought a cheap coach seat when I heard about strikes but as it was only £4.50 and it's a pain in the ass with connecting bus from where I live, I might hop on train.

Trains are running normally as far as I know... Hope so as my coach left Victoria at 8 am and I'm still at home

Anyone without sky ... From 11pm to 12:30 am the gig will be broadcast on BBC RB 1 channel 601

If you read this and are able to go to the gig, can you please shout the "LIZARDS" bit from Faster the loudest thing you've ever shouted at a Manics gig, in relation to it being staged in a castle, please?
Have fun everyone and I will try and avoid the setlist myself! But I still think the setlist is being tweaked, but won't say which song I'd want in case it isn't in the last set.

Enjoy the gig!

I'm aiming to hit Cardiff around 3-ish. 2 hours' queueing is about my limit.

Same for me!

Relieved the train strike was suspended, getting my train from Devon shortly. Excited!

The only worry I do have now is getting out of the castle at the end and getting on the half 11 train to Bristol!

Slightly unnecessary worries from me about parking! North Road car park currently almost empty. £5:20 for the day.

The last time I queued for a concert I was there hours and fainted from all the standing as the venue opened. I ended up way back without a pit pass when I came to. Needless to say I never bother queuing anymore!

Just walked past Nicky in Cardiff! He looked like a man at peace with the world.
