WRU has partnered with Big Green Coach, the largest events travel company in the UK, to put on special coach services for supporters travelling into Cardiff on Saturday 5th November for the Wales v New Zealand match at Principality Stadium.
Return coach travel is available from 23 locations across Wales and major cities including Birmingham, Reading and London, direct to Cardiff’s city centre. Return coach seats start from £28, and all coaches are timetabled to arrive in plenty of time before the game and will take fans home again, after full time.

Big Green Coach Director Danny Newby says, “We are delighted to be in a position to assist the WRU get fans to the game during the UK rail strike. We appreciate that getting to the game can be stressful, especially with the train not being an option, so we have organised a large number of coaches and we look forward to welcoming the fantastic fans onboard.”
Mark Williams Principality Stadium Manager says, “Since we were made aware of the industrial action, we have been working closely with our partners at Cardiff Council, Transport for Wales, and Welsh Government to ensure this fixture remains accessible and a number of measures have been introduced to help supporters.”
“A Wales home fixture against New Zealand at Principality Stadium is always a fantastic experience, and we are looking forward to welcoming another magnificent occasion at the opening match of the Autumn Nations Series, but we also urge supporters to allow plenty of time to get into the city and plan their journeys in advance.”
Big Green Coach is fully committed to protecting the environment and will offset all the carbon produced for these coach services – making the Big Green Coach network to the rugby carbon neutral.
