I would really rather like to make a 150-mile journey across the
country on Christmas Eve, from Wivenhoe (near Colchester, out in Essex)
to Swindon. Oh, the joys of the fissioned nuclear family.

I tried to travel from Wivenhoe last Christmas Eve and nearly got
stranded because the coach drivers (at Colchester) started going home
without permission. Go as early as possible, else try the 23rd!

Erk. This is not what i wanted to hear! It'll probably be a good idea to
phone ahead to Colchester North and ask whether the coaches are still
running before i set off.

As nice as Wivenhoe might be at Christmas, I know that the University
tends to become quite deserted (which if you are a resident can be nice
or bad depending on you perspective!).

As a villager, it's pretty much a non-issue!
