Sad to report that Greater Anglia have gone back to their usual habit of Saturday maintenance work meaning rail replacement buses for London-based fans on match days. Don't suppose there's anyone round my way (Walthamstow) who drives to games and wants a passenger with whom to share petrol costs? [Post edited 20 Sep 2021 15:30]

Is this a one off or going to be a regular occurrence, hugely frustrating if so. |  |

Regular, I'd imagine. In my experience once they start doing "track renewal work" during the Autumn, it tends to claim near enough the majority of Saturdays throughout the season.
Replacement buses this Saturday and Shrewsbury already in the calendar. | |

They're useless, aren't they?
I remember trying to get a train to the last derby match at PR. I had my tickets in hand (sponsored by Greater Anglia), and yet to get to the early kick off game I'd have to leave my house at about 4am. |  | | |

Not to defend Greater Anglia, but it'll be Network Rail scheduling the works:

Tracks need replacing, what you gonna do, I guess... | |

Kings Cross-Ely-Ipswich will get you there in 2hr 14m with 1 change, vs Liverpool St-Ingatestone-Colchester-Ipswich in 1hr 55. There's one that gets in at roughly 1.30pm.
Good idea. I'll probably do that in future (being on the Northern Line) rather than faffing about with rail replacement bus services. |  | | |

The trouble is the engineering works have been a permenant fixture at weekends for about 15-20 years | | | |
