As Noel and Liam Gallagher prepare to play their first reunion shows in Wales, one Oasis fan took to social media to vent their frustration over a lift issue at Cardiff Central.
One Oasis fan has been left fuming after a broken lift situation in Cardiff has caused chaos for disabled travellers. The band are back together for the first time in years, as Noel and Liam Gallagher put aside their differences after a 16 year-long feud.
Fans are clamoring to get there early to get the best seats and enjoy the atmosphere as the band perform their first live show in years in Cardiff tomorrow evening.
However, some fans who use wheelchairs haven’t followed the right course of action. What do you think of the #liamgallagher and #NoelGallagher on social media as a result of @tfwrail having a lift out of order making wheelchair users unable to get off/on the train in the capital city of Wales – absolute shambles?
The passenger assistance representative at Cwmbran and Cardiff Central informed them that they had “spoke to the passenger assistance who stated that the lifts at both Cwmbran and Cardiff Central are out of order and that we couldn’t use an electric wheelchair as we couldn’t get to/off the platforms.”
The East End lift is “still accessible for passengers for platform 1 & 2, and” Transport for Wales then announced that Cardiff Platform 1 (to Cardiff) was accessible via a ramped path from Edlogan Way.”
The fan then responded to explain that he was aware of the Cwmbran issues but that he had been informed that Cardiff’s lifts were unavailable by “passengers assistance.”
A number of road closures have resulted from Oasis’ Cardiff gigs, which have also caused chaos for wider transportation throughout the city. Significant road closures will be implemented throughout the city center of Cardiff as the city prepares for the arrival of music fans.
City center roads will be closed from noon until midnight for the Oasis concerts, and they are anticipated to reopen shortly thereafter. By using the park and ride at the Vindico Arena on International Drive in the Sports Village, the M4 motorway is anticipated to be very busy for these concerts, a Cardiff Council spokesperson said. “Please plan ahead.
Go to the Traffic Wales website or follow @TrafficWalesS on Facebook and Twitter for most up-to-date traffic information on the motorways and trunk roads. “Concertgoers are being asked to arrive in Cardiff early,” the statement read.
Due to preparations at gate five and to protect queuing fans, Scott Road and Park Street will be closed from 7am. Beginning at 12 noon and continuing until midnight, the city center roads will be completely closed on July 4 and 5.
Throughout the day, only event parking, limited commuter parking, loading, and access to private car parks are permitted entry to certain areas of the civic center.
King Edward VII Avenue, Museum Avenue, City Hall Road, College Road, and Gorsedd Gardens Road are among the affected roads.
