Had photo taken with Tunde of Passenger Focus outside Laindon station on Monday to highlight a quite astounding difference in fares, depending on who you by your ticket from. Currently, c2c charges £11.50 for a single between Laindon and Kings Cross (2008 fare was £11.30), while the fare charged by London Underground for the journey between Kings Cross and Laindon is £8.80 (2008 fare was £8.50). The fare quoted on the National Rail website is £10.50. (A similar difference in fares would apply for travel from Thurrock stations to TfL stations)

The original plan was to be able to use the extended platform Grays Platform 3, (the one mainly used for the Upminster shuttles) from the May 2008 timetable, this was then rescheduled to December 2008; but because there was no certainty of the work being completed for December at the time the timetable had to be submitted to Network Rail, no timetable changes could be contemplated before May 2009.
