Without a railcard you can get to Southend for £25.

The train is straightforward - down to KX then to Liverpool St and to Southend from there.
I would start looking now...

More expensive to go via KingsX. £25 is via Piccadilly and Euston, getting to Southend at 10:30 or 12:10.

If you search for Hudds to Manc return and Manc to Sarfend Vic return you'll get a price of £40. You need three £5 discount codes to get it down to £25, see www.fgw5pounds.co.uk for more info. |

Nope, one discount code per email address. Any one person can have as many codes as they want, I must have received and used at least 20, if not more.

Best off getting off next stop at Southend Victoria where there'll be a few pubs, then get the train back to Prittlewell after 2.

Eye, am game - its become a bit of a tradition to go to first game of season irrespective of where it is (a la Gillingham by coach a few seasons ago) but we'll let the train take the strain eh?? |

Make sure you look for the 6:35, 6:55, 8:15, 8:35, or 8:55 from Manchester Piccadilly to Southend Victoria and the 17:06 from Southend Victoria to Manchester Piccadilly.

17:06? Little bit tight after the game isn't it? I remember the station being about a 10 minute walk away.

It's a 5 minute walk to Prittlewell, and the train gets there at 17:08, which should be enough time.
