Trains operator asks some people not to use its services as fears grow of travel chaos for Tom Jones and Stereophonics stadium shows in Cardiff

Rail passengers and motorists are being warned about how busy it is likely to be this weekend as the Stereophonics and Tom Jones prepare to play two huge stadium gigs in Cardiff. The re-scheduled concerts at the Principality Stadium are due to take place on Friday, June 17, and Saturday, June 18.

But Transport for Wales is already warning that it faces "capacity constraints" because of damage caused to a train in a recent incident at Craven Arms. You can see more about this incident here. And those turning to the roads could well face similar problems if recent events in Cardiff have been anything to go by.

There were complaints last weekend - June 11 and 12 - as football fans who headed from north Wales to Cardiff for Saturday's Nations League branded the train service a "disgrace" amid scenes of overcrowding, and there was also heavy criticism of the train service for Ed Sheeran's recent gigs in Cardiff . Read more here about the overcrowding on Saturday.
