On the main line, there are only minor changes but there are no longer through trains throughout the day on the Lowestoft, Harwich and Peterborough routes.This impacts on travel times from Chelmsford, and the times below should be considered approximate and will vary by time of day and route.
Full
travel information and up to date route timetables are available on the
National
