How to get to the ground
The nearest station to the ground is Colchester Main Line which is just under two miles away from the stadium. Located near to the station at Bruff Close is a free shuttle bus service that will take you to the ground.
Free Shuttle Bus for the Stadium
A free shuttle bus will be in operation from Bruff Close, which is close to Colchester North, (at the end of the station approach turn left and take the second exit at the roundabout, the buses park behind the "Big Yellow" storage facility that you can see from the station). Attached to your match ticket should be a voucher for the bus. For 3pm kick offs it will run from 1pm, with the last bus returning from the stadium at 6pm.
The word is they work surprisingly well. Afterwards they let the buses out of the car park before cars, which leads to a fairly swift return to the station and an easy getaway.
Bruff Close where the buses are can just be seen top left to the right of the station, Br. C.
Remember, it's in a Group Save area that can cut fares in half if four of you can travel together, and any various travelcards will make it even cheaper.
