Hi,

I'm planning on taking a national express coach from London to Cardiff soon but my girlfriend is convinced that this is a bad idea. She thinks that it will take ages and be very uncomfortable. I think that it will only be a few hours and surprisingly comfortable. Also, it's far cheaper than going by rail. Can anybody tell me if taking the bus is a good idea or is it a nightmare like my girlfriend thinks it is? Appreciate any help on this!

Thanks.

Myself and a couple of friends are thinking of working for the summer in Britain. There're a few cities we are considering going to and to help us narrow our (very long list) I was just wondering if anyone would like to offer some input as to whether or not Cardiff would be a good choice for the summer.
We'd be looking for somewhere where
- Job availibility won't be a problem
- A decent nightlife for 20 year olds
- Cheap cost of living, or at least, not expensive
- There's a nice amount of touristy things to do.

Edinburgh, for example, is exactly the kind of place I'm looking for, but I've already visited it, so would like to try somewhere new

Really, REALLY appreciate feedback!

what is the postal address for the Cardiff Bay-Cardiff centre bus service company customer relations Dept, using "bendy buses"? Please forward by email.

Looking for a cheap flight out of cardiff to paris De Gaulle. Any info re: airlines, web sites etc would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
We are going to see the Police at the Millenium Stadium in October, and are staying in Newport Holiday Inn Express. We would like to eat somewhere nice before the gig. Any suggestions? Should we travel to the stadium and eat near there? The gates open at 4.30pm so we would like somewhere that serves late afternoon but that is good and semi special as we are celebrating birthdays too.
Please help.

Hi I am going to the quarter-final rugby world cup game in Cardiff on the 6th of October. I couldn't get accommodation in Cardiff, so I am staying in Bristol, thinking I would be able to get a train after the game. I just checked train times, and it seems the last train is at 9.55pm, which is too early. Does anyone know if there are plans to put more trains on line? Any other suggestions for transport back to Bristol at about 11pm? Thanks,

I'm going to be in Cardiff next week. I am a female in my late 20s and I will be traveling alone, and as such I would like to know which parts of the city I should avoid. Thanks!

Hi i am after after cheap accomodation (for myself and two others) for the 14th- 17th september (Rugby World Cup). if any one has any advice or know of any options it would be much appreciated. Is Cardiff Uni an option to stay? We are not after anything to flash, but some where which is relatively close to the stadium, and that gives us a place to sleep. It seems accomodation is at a premium for this period, so any help people could give would be invaluable. Send me an email if u could. cheers.

Hello,
I would like to ask what is the best and cheapest way to travel from London to Cardiff? We need to be there at 16pm 12 of March, and in the same day we are planing to be back to London. So it will be great if somebody will give advise how to go (because this is the first our visit to UK) and what is possible to see in a few hours there.
Thank you!

Thank you,

Cardiff has an important visitor from Serbia, Niksa aka VT member 'diocletianvs' (and partner). He will be here for the weekend of the 16/17 February. Will any of you Cardiff VT members be around for that weekend? It would be good to get a small welcoming party together in a traditional Cardiff hostelry of some description! That would either be the Friday or the Saturday evening, for drinks and maybe a meal too...
