Why travel from Leeds to Cardiff by train?

Cardiff is not only the beating heart of Wales but a gateway to the rest of the world. With frequent train services running back and forth, Cardiff Airport is the only international airport in Wales, and with nearly 2 million passengers annually, the busiest. Popular flight routes include Alicante, Málaga, and Tenerife in Spain, Paris and Dublin.

Europe’s largest and some say, most stylish urban waterfront, Cardiff Bay is home to numerous chic cafes and bars, fine restaurants and, of course, the iconic Millennium Centre. Featuring the typical Welsh elements of slate, wood and steel, this instantly recognisable building is the hub for performance arts. A year-round programme showcases local and international talents in live acts including ballet, opera, stand-up comedy and a range of eccentric, one-off performances.
