Don't know if it still exists in the current economic situation, but there
used to be a lot of traffic between high tech firms in the Thames Valley and
places like Marconi at Chelmsford.

I think the main demise is that "places like Marconi" have almost ceased
to exist in Chelmsford!

So what does it do now to justify it's existance?

Mainly a dormitory, but plenty of financial industry offices that have
moved out of London.

I grew up there, and to my eyes it has been vastly "over-developed" with
fill-in housing, medium sized office blocks, and bits of shopping mall
tacked onto what was once quite a traditional High Street. They've even
built flats on the old bus station (next to the train^H^H railway
station).

The new bus station is quite a nice job though.

Though its new life as a dormitory began in a small way in the 1950s, it
is only now beginning to get big.
