up from London on Saturday. Engineering works AND a possible strike on the trains, then if you drive there's the dreaded A12 roadworks.
Anyone got a pogo stick I can borrow? |  |

I've ditched the plan to get the train and am driving up the night before. Bus replacement on a bank holiday weekend, honestly? |  | | |

South of Chelmsford - around 5 miles of thin lanes average speed cameras.
Marks Tey to Tollgate - couple of miles of thin lanes, average speed cameras.
At weekends they sometimes dump the traffic off and back on A12 at Marks Tey adding a few more minutes.
Edit: Doesn't look like any closures this weekend.

Train strikes confirmed, aren’t they?? |
Not sure if they're confirmed but the Trainline website is saying "Rail strikes will impact travel on this day." | |
| Trust the process. Trust Phil. |

The strikes dont seem to have much or any effect on the timetable of the London to Ipswich line, even allowing for the rail replacement. Normal or near-normal services according to the greater anglia site. https://www.greateranglia.co.uk/strikes Some of the smaller lines are closed, like the felixtowe line.
What the impact on general service will be remains to be seen | |

Drive up on day of Stoke game; Mark's Try only took 30 mins, and the 50mph South of Chelmsford was fine then, and yesterday. |  |

Coming in from Yarmouth Saturday. Was told yesterday at the station that 90% of trains are running. | | | |
