Platform numbers at British terminals are frequently announced under ten minutes before departure, and ticket barriers add another few minutes at peak. Twenty minutes at a major station is comfortable; ten is a sprint.
Travelling from Cardiff Central
Tickets are sold by the train operators and by National Rail retailers. Where more than one operator serves your route, their fares are set independently, so it is worth checking each rather than assuming they match.
