DukesGreg 46 Posted June 19, 2011 Where is the best place to park. Will the railway station be a good option Cheers Good luck with this one mate. The Park and Ride signs for the speedway started about 20 miles away from the venue, as soon as you approach Cardiff... they'll vanish and you're left for dead. Set off early to make good time for this one. Got into the centre and not a million miles from the stadium... pulled over a city centre 'official' near a shopping centre, asked him about speedway parking, and he didn't even know there was speedway on!! The alleged 'park and ride' we found was full for cars... and there were loads of spaces there looking at it. Nightmare with knobs on. Get there early, and wing it. Best advice I can give.

Dornier 804 Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) If you get there early theres plenty of parking near castle . I usually park in the University / college car parks, you`ll see them as you near the stadium but are not cheap £7 or £8 .

A bit expensive at £15+vat but you pre book a space and it is 10mins walk from the stadium Have had no problems getting out after the Gp Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,791 Posted June 19, 2011 You could keep an eye on http://www.cardiff.gov.uk/content.asp?nav=2%2C2870%2C4048%2C4198 They must put the GP info up soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brummie Kev 519 Posted June 19, 2011 A good place to park is on Tyndall Street, near the Etap. We parked there last year, theres meters but its free after 6pm so you only have pay upto then. Its not much and its on a main road so easy to get out after the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerblues 10 Posted June 19, 2011 We've had good experiences with the park and ride, always found it easy to get to with the signs and been able to park quite easily, we usually arrive at around 1pm ish. Suppose there will be cheaper options within walking distance of the stadium rather than relying on a bus but it's been very handy for us in the last 3 years.

There is a massive Park & Ride on the way into Cardiff just off the A48. Here is the info on Cardiff Council's website. It is signposted right up to it (permanent signs, not electronic ones). We use this whenever we go into Cardiff (except GP weekend, but that is so we can have a drink). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
