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.

We have been contacted my many people, concerned at the vast fare increases from January, that exceeded the ‘average 6% increase’ much published by the government and rail industry. To take but two examples: Daily ticket, East Tilbury to Barking including LU zones 2356 Old Price: £8.80 New Price £11.20, around a 27% increase. Daily ticket, Grays to Canary Wharf Old price £6.10 New price £8.40, around a 37% increase TRUG have received the following explanation for the increases:

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.
