Train travel affected this weekend; book parking online!
Colchester United fans who use the trains to get to the Weston Homes Community Stadium on matchdays, are reminded of current engineering works on the East Anglia to London Liverpool Street line.
With works taking place at weekends through to March 22nd, there will be significant works, meaning that the line is closed between Manningtree and Shenfield each weekend.
