I updated the thread title to reflect what the thread is actually about.
Anyone know what the trains to the South Wales Valleys will be like after the game?
Not just to Cardiff mind. I don't live in Cardiff.

Still don't know how I am getting home from the game on Saturday night. I live in Sussex (near Brighton). Can anyone advise?
Is there a trainspotting sub forum we can move this to?
Unless you can get to St. Pancras by about 10.30 (that's a no then) it's the rail replacement bus for you mister
That's because you're one of those old fashioned, out of touch individuals who still think that the attending clients (used to be called 'fans', for some unknown reason, now lost in the mists of time) should be taken into account when fixture times are discussed. This is clearly a misunderstanding on your part.
If the game goes to extra time/penalties, I've just calculated that clients travelling by train will get back to Brighton by about 2:30am.
It'll be about midnight by the time I get home, and I live in London. Fuck knows how people from the sticks going to manage.
Assume game finishes around 9.45pm - no extra time
Have a drink in the stadium, letting the mega queues at Seven Sisters die down, leave maybe 10.15-10.20
Walk down the High Road, get to Seven Sisters around 10.40
Get off at Highbury and Islington around 10.50
Change for the Overground, get off Forest Hill around 11.30 maybe, allowing time in case there's a wait for the train.
Walk home. Get home around 11.40.
This is assuming strike action doesn't affect the Victoria Line, TfL says it "might". Great.

I will go to Tunbridge Wells. Let the chauffeur get some use out of that expensive Sat Nav he made me buy.
Just looked it up - Sussex isn't near Brighton.
You can cycle from London to Brighton - loads of people do it. And the roads are often very quiet at 3am on a Sunday.
I was only fucking about really. I should be home before 00.15 assuming we have ruined BHA around 4-0 in normal time.
It's still a ludicrious kickoff time either way.
Couldn't you pretend you are a Brighton fan(your location fits) and cadge a lift home off one of your new mates?...
Train?
