Wales breaking news plus weather and traffic updates (Friday, June 12)

Thousands of music fans are heading to Cardiff this summer to enjoy live music.

With Take That and Metallica taking the stage at the Principality Stadium, as well as the return of Blackweir Live featuring Lewis Capaldi and Pitbull, and a packed summer of events at Cardiff Castle, Transport for Wales has advised that train services are expected to be significantly busier than usual throughout June and July.

TfW has strengthened capacity on key routes and scheduled later services to accommodate attendees.

Post-event queuing systems will be in place at both Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street stations.

The following station arrangements will be in place:

• Principality Stadium concerts (Take That & Metallica): Passengers heading to the Valleys or to the Vale of Glamorgan will be directed to Cardiff Queen Street, while a mainline queueing system will be at Cardiff Central. Queueing will start from 9.45pm at both stations.
• Blackweir Live and Cardiff Castle concerts: While services will still be busy, Valleys and the Vale of Glamorgan passengers can use either station for their journey home.
• For all Blackweir Live concerts, Cathays station and the station bridge will close at 10pm. Passengers will be directed to either Cardiff Central or Cardiff Queen Street stations.
