GWR continues to operate connecting services to Temple Meads from surrounding areas, including Taunton and Weston-super-Mare.
Reservations will be required on journeys to Cardiff from Bristol Temple Meads, and from Bath, with fans encouraged to book early. Fans are strongly encouraged to book for the earliest service possible and allow plenty of time for their journey.
A queuing system will be in place on a first-come-first served service basis for the return trip and supporters should consider delaying their return from Cardiff Central to avoid waiting.
