55 miles 1 hr 22 mins for me, so it says. I'll be leaving at noon ± 30 mins.

Unfortunately the best thing to come out of Chelmsford was the name for the TV series Chelmsford 123, a late '80s sitcom about Romans in Britain. I used to love that show on a Sunday night.

Nope, you're wrong. Mainland Europe have different power sockets to us, not the other way round. Adapters are easy to come by though.

Googled where I can get an adapter and it seems grocery stores have them
No kidding

Right, I've done the timetables, and depending on how things go it'll either be 10:30 or 10:58, there's a pretty tight change at Colchester for the 10:30 arrival which could go sideways depending on how the trains are running, so the back-up train is the 10:58 arrival.

Ok give me a shout if you miss the connection and I'll find parking and a pub.
