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? | ![](/images/avatars/24345.gif) |

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. https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/east/a12-junction-25-marks-tey-to-junct [Post edited 21 Aug 2023 15:19]

Not sure if they're confirmed but the Trainline website is saying "Rail strikes will impact travel on this day." | ![](/images/avatars/24345.gif) |

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. | ![](/images/avatars/47.gif) |
