Do you think there still might be space left in the university accomodation? Am thinking about going over and taking in the Cardiff show and Live8 (assuming I can snag a ticket for at least Cardiff this week 
). Have a friend in London working on getting me into both.

I don't see why not - it's worth a try. Even if they're only using a couple of Halls for public accomodation, that's a couple of hundred rooms available at least
Give them a call. Hope you find something!

3d - I posted some suggestions over in this thread a while back: http://forum.interference.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=113269&perpage=15&pagenumber=2
I don't know whether or not those places still have any spare rooms, though. It might be worth trying the Future Inns place that I mention in my last post there. It's fairly new, so I'm not sure that too many people even know it's there.
Have you tried hotels/B&Bs in Penarth? It's a small town that's about 5 miles from Cardiff (i.e. a bit closer than Barry). The last train from Cardiff Central to Penarth is currently the 23.11, but that might change a bit when the new summer timetable comes out (it might even get later). A taxi from Cardiff to Penarth should be roughly £12-15. Try these:
Alandale Guest House - 029 2070 9226
Hickman Lodge B&B - 029 2070 1044
Manor House - 029 2070 9309
The first two of these are very near to the railway station in Penarth. The last one is a bit of a walk.
Failing that, trains run back to Barry until fairly late (11-something, I think). Not sure about buses. You could also try Newport, which is about 15 miles from Cardiff. Trains should run to there until fairly late. There's a place called the Kings Hotel that's right next to Newport railway station. I don't know what it's like (it looks fine from the outside), but it's the most convenient place I can think of if you end up having to stay in Newport.
Good luck!

Just so everyone knows...
Due to engineering work being undertaken by Network Rail, there will be changes to services operated by Arriva Trains Wales between Cardiff Central and Bridgend from 26 to 30 June 2005.
On these dates after 2214, Network Rail’s engineers will undertake essential track renewal work between Cardiff Central and Bridgend.
Arriva Trains Wales train services will be diverted by an alternative route and will be unable to call at Pontyclun and Pencoed. A replacement bus service will operate between Cardiff Central, Pontyclun, Pencoed and Bridgend.
Full details can be obtained by calling National Rail Enquiries on 08457 48 49 50.
What a bunch of horseshit! This just makes the whole thing a real pain in the ass. I hate busses!

Anyone live in Cardiff?
Hi
Need some travel info.
Plan on being in Cardiff by about 8. Any tips on all day car parks (til about 11pm at night I guess)
The park and ride scheme is out for us as it only opens at about 11am or something.
We need somewhere which is close to the motorway access roads by doesnt clash with where all the fans will be going (so perhaps a short walk away from the stadium?)
And also I hear some roads will be clsoed in Cardiff - any ideas which ones etc?

Regarding the university accomodation and accomodation in general. I have a train thats leaving Cardiff central at 4am on thursday morning. I was planning to find somewhere to get some food, drink whatever to waste some time after the concert before the train.
Is this anywhere nearby that'll be open for this time?
Plus, is cardiff central open all night? if not, what time does it open as my train is due to depart at around half 4.
Thanks in advance

I'd also appreciate any travel hints. We should be arriving around 6pm, so I'm guessing the park and ride is the best way to get to the Mill. Coming up via Briztol.
Also, does anyone know if there's a curfew?
Thanks all.

There is a half marathon or fun run around the streets of Cardiff that night so parking will be xtra difficult. I think they are closing some streets for the run.
It looks like it is in Bute Park which is behind Cardiff Castle - over 8000 competitors.
