Transport for Wales has announced that they will put on extra trains to help supporters get home from Wales v Kazakhstan.

The match is Wales’ first match in group J on the 22nd March at 19:45 in Cardiff.

Additional trains will also run from North Wales to Cardiff and extra will trains will run to help supports get to and from Wrexham v Stockport.

Engineering work between Shrewsbury and Wrexham was planning to take place over the weekend, this was planned from 2023 but football fixtures were only confirmed at the start of the year.

“We know just how important major sporting, music and cultural events are to the economies we serve.

“Working with the FAW we know that supporters from North Wales are increasingly coming to rely on our services to get down to Cardiff and back which is a testament to the improvements made over the past 18 months. So once again we’ve been able to run some extra trains to support those who want to travel home after the game, above what is in our standard timetable.

“This one was more challenging as the fixtures were only confirmed at the start of the year and Wales could just as easily been playing away.

“But we’ve got a fantastic relationship with Network Rail and I’m delighted that we could work together to find a solution.”
