  • Parking tomorrow

    Evening lads. I'm looking to drive from the Heath area to the game tomorrow (yes I could get the train but a bit apprehensive about it to be fair. Not a fan of crammed conditions at the best of times).

    If I were to drive where would you recommend I park? Happy to pay and happy to walk a bit to the game.

    Not sure of the street before I look on maps, but the side street in canton with the church down there was always good for me on a Saturday

    Edit. Earle place or crescent or something rings a bell.

      That's where my mate used to park, good shout thanks.

      Does anyone know how busy it gets on Ninian Park station going back to Heath Low level? Train makes more sense but I've never taken that route before.

        Try Hamilton Street, get there early . Buses are safe and less busy.

          The 17.02 departure will be chronically busy but if you can hang about for the 18.02 it will be a nicer socially distanced affair.

            Cheers mate. It's not necessarily Covid, I've never been a fan of hot stuffy public transport but it's only 16 minutes I suppose lol. Can you tell I'm apprehensive about the whole day tomorrow haha

              I live in Heath too. Caught the train a few times 2 seasons ago from Heath To Ninnian and back. Wasn’t too bad getting back on at Ninian. I’ll probably be doing that myself tomorrow if that helps.

                I'll give it a go, perfect little route for the football fair play. Only just found out there was a direct line to Ninian.

                  Yeah I’m new to the area. Really handy. There’s a bus that goes from Rhydhelig Avenue too. Not tried that but easier option for me.

                    How did you get off with the train mate ?

                    I had a nightmare on the bus. Getting there was great no probs at all. Would prob use again tbh.
                    However trying to get back was a nightmare.

                    Waited by Leckwith to catch bus back into town to catch a bus up to Heath. Waited till 17:20 but no sign of train. Walked into canton to wait for the direct bus to Heath but that never arrived. Think best bet for bus is walk into canton or Grangetown and get into the city centre.

                      Hopefully the shittle buses will start running again soon.

                          Great mate thanks. Nice and easy, only issue was the timings so the 17:02 train meant I missed the last few minutes, which is annoying.

                            Yeah I was tempted to make a dash for it. Many getting on at that time ?

                              Quite busy yeah but easily got a seat. I think next time (especially if it's a more entertaining game with the chance of a late winner) I'd stay on and walk very slowly to get the 18:02 train. Haha
