As is usual for large events at the Principality Stadium, such as after the Harry Styles concert last year and Six Nations rugby matches, a queuing system will be in place outside the station.

Fans travelling east towards Newport will need to queue on the square in front of Cardiff Central station instead of in Riverside Car Park.

Principality Stadium is expecting nearly 50,000 people to attend the Bruce Springsteen concert this Sunday, many of whom will choose to do so taking advantage of the ease of travelling by train.

Previous events on this scale have shown that our trains get extremely busy, and people will need to queue outside the station to board trains safely.

We encourage all who are using these services to check journey times and connections at gwr.com/check and allow sufficient time to complete your journey home.
