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.

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:
