What train station in Cardiff?

[Qprmeath]

Where is the best station to get off the train in Cardiff? Cardiff central or Grangetown? Flying in to Bristol, hope to be in Cardiff bout 1030. Would like a few pints and something to eat before the match all going well. Grangetown is nearer the ground but is there anywhere to eat or drink in that area?

Great, thanks for your help.

Cardiff central is your best bet. Hundreds of pubs and places to eat aound there. Taxi will cost you around 6 quid to get to ground. either that or get off at cardiff central, then get a train to ninian park. The ground is then only a couple of minutes away and is visiblle. There's a new pub outside the ground called the sand martin. Supposed to be very nice for food. Your only allowed in there if your having food tho, can't go in fo just a beer

Sheeps testicles not so popular down here Gareth.

Do like a bit of lamb though but not to sure if you serve it in Wales, or whether it's illegal, seeing as you like to save them for other pastimes when they become sheep.

From footballgroundguide.com:

By Train
The nearest train station is Ninian Park Halt, which is only a five minute walk from the stadium. This station is on a local line (city line-direction Radyr) which is served by trains from Cardiff Central, which run every thirty minutes on Saturday afternoons. On leaving Ninian Park Halt station proceed along Leckwith Road and you will see the new stadium over on your left. Alternatively if you are away fan turn left into Sloper Rd and then turn right into the protected compound at HSS Plant Hire, which leads to the away turnstiles.

Alternatively as Barry Hodges informs me; 'Grangetown station is around a 15-20 minute walk away from the New Stadium and is served by more frequent trains from Cardiff Central, that continue onto Penarth or Barry Island. On leaving Grangetown station turn left, cross the main road and then turn right into Sloper road'. If you are an away fan then turn left into the protected compound at HSS Plant Hire, which leads to the away turnstiles. If for any other turnstile than gate 7, walk on 50 metres, turning left, into the car park towards gate 6 or around the stadium, to the right for lower gate numbers, ticket office or club shop.

If you a bit more time on your hands, then you can walk to the stadium from Cardiff Central, which takes around 25 minutes. As you come out of the entrance to the station, bear left and at the bottom of the station approach road, turn left. Continue straight on into Ninian Park Road, for around a mile passing the Millennium Stadium on your right. At the end of Ninin Park Road turn left and then left into Leckwith Road. You will then shortly be able to see the stadium over on your left (the away turnstiles are on the left hand side of the stadium, as you view it from here).
