Whilst its relatively quiet would be grateful for some travel advice. I don’t get to many home games but next week I’m on a course near Cambridge and hopefully leaving (by car) just before 6 to get to the Millwall game. Would prefer to train it but looks like options back are limited as no later trains afterwards except a couple to Stowmarket? Do people travelling from Cambridge direction generally find it a better option to dump the car in Stowmarket and train it rather than going straight through and trying to get a spot in Ipswich? Or would it be a struggle at that time? Any help most appreciated, thanks. |  | | |  |

Six might be pushing it. If anything happens on the 14 it backs up as it is so busy. Are the roadworks done now? |  | | |

No, the roadworks are nowhere near finished. Sometime next year ,apparently. |  | | |

There are currently roadworks around Woolpit to Stowmarket that are a complete pain, the last night game there were 30 to 45 minutes delay. I would take a look at travel times on google maps leaving at 6PM over a few nights to see what the average delay is. You need to get through these to reach Stowmarket. |  | | |

I live in the Cambridge area. When I've done a midweek game I've always tried to be off as close to 5.30 as I can (when I finish work) and it can take a long time. That's driving - it becomes a struggle once you get towards Ipswich |  | | |

Many thanks all, seems pretty clear that I won't have time to mess about with trains on the way in and more importantly need to get out early. Much appreciated. | | | |

Don't forget the game doesn't kick off until 8 o'clock so that gives you a few more minutes | | | |

Me too.
I leave at 5:30 now. The roadworks are really hit and miss. It's generally at least a 30 minute delay, but it took over 2 hours door to door for the Fulham game. There was a diversion through Needham on the way home too. A four hour round trip. |  |

That was an awful night for the A14.
I noticed through the diversion via Needham Market/Stowmarket that they had many signs for the ‘Food Museum’. Is that where food was invented? |  |

I also will be driving from Cambridge, as does somebody else in this thread. Given the terrible train situation, would anyone be interested in a car share system from Cambridge to Ipswich for midweek games? | | | |

As a Towny I’ve never had these travelling issues, I have however always wondered what the trains are like after a mid week game, vs a London team.
You’ve got our Essex based fans travelling back, with 400-1000 London based fans. Do they lay on extra trains/carriages? |  |

I drive from Mildenhall , A14 so same road like to leave 12.30 / 5.30 usually allows me plenty of time even with these road repairs . |  | | |
