Following on from the news of Oyster cards being able to use on C2C line up to and including Grays. Please see attached link regarding the new fare structure. http://www.consumerdeals.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1257771743 The way the fare structure for oyster has been set up there is no longer any cheap day returns. Example of fares are as follows The arrival of Oyster means the cheap weekend day-returns within the new zones vanish.
Fares will rise by up to 45% at weekends! For example:
Ockendon to Chafford return: currently £2.20 goes up to £3.20 = 45% increase.
Grays to Chafford return: currently £2.50 goes up to £3.20 = 28% increase.
Grays to Fenchurch St. return: currently £6.40 goes up to £7.80 = 22% increase
This is because Oyster doesn't have weekend fares, just peak & off-peak.
c2c seem to have decided the Oyster fare will be the cheapest available.
Hence the new cheapest weekend prices rise to equal 2 off-peak Oyster single fares. http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/mayor-decisions/docs/20091015-md457-fares-2010.pdf Full details of fare changes in the above document.

New on train announcements will shortly be implemented on the c2c fleet of trains, which will, amongst other improvements, go to highlighting the Quiet Zone in the end carriage (Shoebury end) of each 4 car unit. Additional signage will also be added shortly along with signal-weakening film for the windows, to reduce signal strength of mobile phones.
