Wales v New Zealand at the Millennium Stadium Cardiff 22/11/14

Another busy weekend ahead for A Class Drivers, surprisingly for us not with airport transfers, but fully booked with long distance taxi journeys for rugby fans heading back to their homesteads in England and Wales. This weekend brings another Rugby International, Wales welcoming the great New Zealand All Blacks to the Millennium stadium on Saturday.

Kick off is a little bit later than usual, at 17:30 hrs, with an expected 74,000 crowd at the stadium, there will be the usual rugby-related traffic congestion and also full road closures in Cardiff City centre. Roads closed include Kingsway, Duke St, Castle St, High St, St.Mary St, Caroline St, Wood St, Central Sq, Westgate St, Quay St, Guildhall Pl, Golate, Park St, Havelock St & Scott Rd, between 15:30 hrs and 20:30 hrs.

We’ve had a great deal of experience with these types of large events and road closures, and rise readily to the challenges it poses, by meeting and greeting our customers, then whisking them off away from the hustle and bustle to their destinations safely.

A Class Drivers Long Distance Taxi & Airport Transfers – Remembrance Sunday

A very busy weekend for us at A Class Drivers, indeed, after also a very busy week in the lead up to the first International Rugby match, Australia playing Wales at the Millennium Stadium. We completed several airport transfers from Heathrow to Cardiff and returns for avid Australian fans, and brought a family of Australian rugby fans from Leeds to Cardiff for the weekend. On Remembrance Sunday, veterans of the second world war travelled with us to London for events there.

Meanwhile, clocking up more long distance taxi journeys, A Class Drivers travelled the length and breadth of South Wales, bringing veterans and families of those that served during the war down from many parts of Wales to attend the Remembrance service in Cardiff. We were pleased to support members of the armed forces, past or presently serving by offering a 10% discount on all our airport transfers and long distance taxi journeys.

A Class Drivers Long Distance Taxi & Airport Transfers – Remembrance Sunday Cardiff 2014

Thousands paid their respects at Wales’ national Remembrance Sunday event that took place in Cardiff, where wreaths were laid at the National War Memorial in Cathays Park after a parade through the Civic Centre. First Minister Carwyn Jones was amongst the dignitaries to lay wreaths at the Cenotaph, and a Welsh national field of remembrance with 10,000 wooden crosses has also been opened at Cardiff Castle.

Prime Minister David Cameron described this year’s Remembrance Sunday as “particularly poignant” as 2014 marked the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings and the end of Britain’s 13-year conflict in Afghanistan.
