(sorry). Every single Essex traffic news bulletin mentions that one. Look on the bright side, at least it's only two roundabouts into one - down our way, at Sadler's Farm it was five. In ten years' time, you'll be asking yourself what all the fuss was about .

The timetable reckons the 0750 makes it , since it's the one that runs slightly later on in-school days, but the 0736 would probably be safer?

I've never used Lexden Road to get where I have to get to in Colchester, even though it's an option, but Cymbeline Way is bad enough between 8 and 9am .

The 7.50am should be ok, if its running on time at Marks Tey. If you hit Lexden Road by 8am its usually pretty straight forward so they should get a good way down before hitting trouble. With experience they should figure out if its quicker to get off sooner in certain circumstances.
