Description
From the roof of the Altolusso Residential Building, 232' high with 23 floors I recorded some of the arrivals for the Wales v Australia Game at the Millenium Stadium. The result was a 24/22 win for Wales. On the rail scene, note Canton Sheds, lines to the Valleys and Cardiff Bay. The passing of 4 x 60s + 1 x 66 are also seen plus the Severn Bridge 21 miles to the east.

It was too dark to record some of the departures as 74,721 fans need to get home

A rooftop view from a high-rise building in Cardiff captures rail activity around Cardiff Central ahead of the Wales v Australia rugby game. The footage includes trains passing through Canton Sheds and lines leading to the Valleys, Cardiff Bay, and beyond. Trains operated by First Great Western and GWR are visible, with mentions of services heading towards Newport, Paddington, Penarth, Rhymney, and Severn Tunnel Junction. The video also notes the Severn Bridge located 21 miles east. Due to darkness, some departures could not be recorded as large crowds needed to leave the stadium after the match.
