Help needed – rail strike August 13

We will arrive in Harwich international port on August 13 by ferry and need to transfer to Ipswich.
Train line is operated by Greater Anglia that will be disrupted due to strike.
What would be our alternative travel options?
Anyone knows a trusted limousine or taxi service?

Or would it be wise to rebook the ferry (1 day earlier) to avoid all that mess?

You could take the #97 Bus from Harwich to Ipswich which will get you there in less than one hour. You can check schedules and fares @ www.IpswichBuses.co.uk

I'm not in your shoes but if I were I wouldn't want to try to get around on a strike day.

Recent history shows that Greater Anglia is only able to run about 10 percent of their core services, between Norwich and London and some Ipswich to London and some Colchester to London but no secondary lines at all and no branch lines.

If I were able to replan my trip and arrive a day before I would certainly do that.
