127 to rayleigh weir....up to vichouse corner....down essex way....past benfleet station and hey presto!!

[Eastside Urchin]

Yes,I know

[BUFC]

Yes,I know

 

if Southend are at home, from A130 turn off up to Weir can take 20min

from weir to vichouse corner can take 15min most Saturdays

 

last few Saturdays ive used 130 to Sadlers farm around the 1:30 mark and its not been too bad

[Eastside Urchin]

But if the A130 is bad you can get stuck for ages,think I will just go for the safe option.

Southend were at home Saturday so hopefully they are away

[YELLOW]

Believe they're away in the FA Cup.

[BUFC]

,think I will just go for the safe option.

 

 

only safe option is go the night before, book a caravan next to the ground and sample Canvey nightlife at its best!

Getting off the island you should be ok,it's getting on that's a problem from the A13

[careboy]

Valuable thoughts and advices. I read your topic with great interest.

[Eastside Urchin]

Jago,from the tunnel to get to Canvey you have a few options

 

1) avoid the A13 at all costs,although if you want to avoid the M25 roadworks upto the A127 you can join the A13,go to the A128,then follow signs to Brentwood to join the A127.Travel down the A127 to the A129 (Rayleigh weir),turn right off the slip road and follow this down for a mile or so (maybe a little bit more) going over a couple of mini roundabouts until you get to a very very large roundabout with a green in the middle,from there you can get onto the island going straight over and following signs for Canvey

I think you go past benfleet station before joining the usual roads to get to this prestigious ground

If you get lost give me a bell

>>>I think you go past benfleet station before joining the usual roads to get to this prestigious ground

 

Yes - go past Benfleet station and keep on for about 400 yards and you will come to the roundabout at the other (Canvey) end of the A130.

 

Just to repeat the warning - do not use the A13 or the A130 - the series of mini roundabouts are blocked off at weekends, and the old A13 which runs parallel to the new A13 is also blocked off. The end result is a 'normal' roundabout, and there can be massive delays.

 

In addition, there are roadworks on the A13 just before the Basildon turning, and these can also cause delays.

 

The only alternative is to use the A127 as far as Rayleigh Weir, then go through to Hadleigh and follow the signs to Benfleet and Canvey - note that the road weaves around quite a lot, but whilst it may take 20 minutes longer, it is better than waiting for up to ninety minutes in a traffic jam.

 

Sid has now put out a warning on the official web site. I know that Bury supporters going to Canvey Island the other week missed the start, and likewise Canvey supporters going to Grays also missed the start of the respective matches.

[Beachboys]

The above is the best option !
