There does need to be a better solution. Line is closed from Witham to London all weekends in Feb. So that is not even an option.
I did see somewhere else that passengers from Chelmsford pay the most per KM to London......yet get a 5 days a week service.
As a Chelmsford commuter, Post Covid i'm not entirely convinced the new station was needed either. Though appreciate where u live in Chelmsford will skew your view on that.
Once the 1000’s of new houses are built in the area the new station will very much be needed.
