Transport for Wales to offer coach services as rail strikes expected to cause chaos for rugby fans

Rugby fans coming to Cardiff for Wales' highly anticipated match against New Zealand on Saturday will be able to travel to and from the city via coaches as rail strike is expected to cause chaos. Transport for Wales alongside WRU and the Big Green Coach are working together in order to provide alternative transport for rugby supporters unable to travel to the Welsh capital by train due to the impact of national industrial action.

On Saturday November 5, Wayne Pivac's men will take on the All Blacks in the first match of the Autumn International. As always, thousands of supporters are expected to travel to Cardiff to watch the game.

But during the same weekend, the RMT, TSSA and Unite trade unions have announced further industrial action over pay dispute. Industrial action is set to take place on Saturday (November 5), Monday (November 7) and Wednesday (November 9).
