Huge crowds at Cardiff train station as thousands of Ed Sheeran fans try to leave city

Fans leaving the Ed Sheeran concert said they failed to board their train at Cardiff Central Station because of the scale of the crowds.

Though the feedback from the concert itself has been roundly positive, the travel to and from the event prompted anger among some people attending the gig. Images from outside the station show thousands of people waiting to even get inside. However, though many people expressed frustration, others praised Transport for Wales for managing the crowds.

Abi Bawden had attended the event and was stuck in the crowds trying to get in. She tweeted to GWR directly saying: "Seriously? Selling tickets for a service you can't commit to. Come to Cardiff to see @edsheeran and waited over an hour for a train and none came. Thousands of people in queue no staff saying anything. Absolute farce, don't take people's money."
