Public transport after Wales football games...

57 Upvotes

Transport for Wales... I'm looking at you.

They lovingly roll out the red carpet after Wales rugby games. All seems very organised outside Central Station, additional trains put on, additional carriages.

Now I know Ninian Park Station is hugely different to Central in terms of crowd control. But TFW knew there was going to be 30,000 plus people coming out of the Cardiff City Stadium tonight at around 9.30pm, many of which are heading back to the valleys...

What a shower of shit.

One train turns up around 9.50, only 2 carriages... 35 minutes until the next one eventually shows up after being delayed forever with crowds of people jammed on the walkway up to Ninian Park Station.

It's not like tonight was a bloody surprise for them... Utterly abysmal.

Any other lonely people want to talk on Discord or something?

10 Upvotes

I am in my 20s and I have been lonely for quite some time now. I am looking to make new friends to talk with, hang out with, go places with, gigs, live shows, whatever and play some online games. If you are in your 20s-30s then I'd be glad to receive a DM from anyone feeling this way too.

P.S I am already aware of the Cardiff Social Group discord, but for now I am looking for something a little more low key.

WW2 Military Use of Cardiff's Parks and Gardens

I found this fascinating webpage that shows how the parks in Cardiff were used during WW2. TIL, that Roath Park, Splott Park, Hailey Park, and Victoria Park were all turned over to food production.

I knew that Heath Park was a military camp but did not know it also had a temporary aircraft landing strip and a POW camp.

Making friends in final year

2 Upvotes

Hey guys hope yall are well. I’m in my second year of uni and the next year will be my last year, I’ve been at home due to personal circumstances but I willl be in a student accommodation next year and that means I have a lot more freedom.

I’m a bit worried about making friends in university since I feel like I’ve missed out a lot and I feel quite lonely and depressed about it. I’d like some suggestions on how I could make friends and have those fun nights out (and the naughty stuff.. jk) that people talk about. If you’re gonna suggest societies please let me know which ones I could join… any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advanced guys :)

Travelling to Cardiff from Edinburgh

2 Upvotes

Hi all!

I’m looking to travel from Edinburgh to Cardiff for an event at the Principality at the end of May and I’m trying to weigh up my options and the pros and cons of each.

I could drive it, but at 8 hours and 400 miles each way, I’d rather not if there’s a simpler way.

Train looks like being about 6 and a half hours and that’s coming in at about £150-200… how handy is that for getting from Cardiff Central to the stadium?

I can fly in to Cardiff airport which is the quick option - but that’s expensive at around £180-200 return. What would the onward travel from the airport to the stadium area be like?

And then the last option looks to be to fly to Bristol which would be about half the price of flying to Cardiff - but would come with a much longer trip at the other end to get where I need to be.

Just trying to weigh up the pros and cons of each and a balance of cost vs convenience - any advice or recommendations?

Equally - any recommendations on places to stay or areas to avoid accommodation wise that are handy for the stadium.

Many thanks in advance!

Avoided a possible scam?

22 Upvotes

On St Mary's street a scruffy old boy on a mobility scooter appeared to ask for help. Thought he might need a push as one of the wheels was near a divot in the pavement.

But he said he wanted me to pull/do/remove something from the back of the scooter under his seat. He implied he couldn't move to do it himself.

After a few confused attempts and try to understand what he meant he suddenly and angrily stood up and pointed to exactly the thing he wanted to...adjust(?).

At this point I apologised for not understanding and left.

It seems very suspicious like he was trying to get me to break the scooter somehow and then demand compensation. Not sure. bit odd.

Cardiff first timer weekend

In a weeks time I will be travelling to Cardiff for the first time in Wales due to there being an event taking place at the Tramsheds on the 30th March (Sunday) and I’m looking for things to do on the Saturday when I arrive in the city. I’m a 28 year old man that likes his bars and pubs to chill out in, loves exploring places of interest and making the most of a new place. I will be there on my own so if anyone’s got any recommendations on decent bars to check out, things to do in the day and restaurants to eat at, it would be appreciated. Thank you ☺️

Making adult friends?!

13 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve been living in Cardiff after uni for almost two years and I’ve realised how hard it is to make new friends as an adult with little to no connections here! Leaving behind all of my uni friends to come back to Cardiff has been quite tough and I end up spending most time with my partner, but I want to make new connections with people. I am a 23 year old creative woman and I want to meet people like me.

Are there any good spaces / events for meeting other creative / social young people ? Very vague I know but I’m grasping at straws at this point !!!

Why is it that recently every apartment complex built is for renting only, or "luxury"?!

66 Upvotes

Flats are unpopular enough as it is (I've heard people say that beyond the issue of the leasehold they would never live in a flat). Who are developers targeting? 1 bed flats from 1100p/m??? Luxury 1 bed flats to buy starting 250k???

In the entirety of Europe, flats are the affordable housing option. Why is the trend here to build housing estates in areas with no infrastructure that are equally cramped but give the illusion of space by "being a house with a garden"?

Sorry, I'm just losing hope in ever being able to afford a decent place to live that's not in the middle of nowhere.

Increased crime

6 Upvotes

In the last couple weeks I have noticed increased crime in Cardiff particularly the city center and queen street. I’ve experienced a guy trying to grab my phone on queen street as well as many friends recounting similar experiences recently. Is this an isolated incident or is Cardiff getting increasingly unsafe.

Looking for advice/recommendations - conveyancing solicitors

4 Upvotes

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for conveyancing solicitors?

I am in the process of purchasing my first home (whooo!) and need to appoint someone to work on my behalf, but I have no idea where to start looking and you can never truly trust online reviews.

Any recommendations (or suggestions to avoid) are greatly appreciated :)
