c2c has London to Southend Off-Peak returns for £15 this summer, less than two £11.30 off-peak singles to Shoeburyness.
That is a decent little school-holiday win if you want a seaside day out before the end of August. Kids aged five to 15 can go for £2, and non-London c2c journeys to Southend are capped at £10 return too.
