If your first touch in takes place after 0930, all your peak and
offpeak daily fares will be added up and capped at the Offpeak
value. Effectively, as long as you don't touch in until after 0930,
the afternoon peak fares simply make you reach the offpeak daily cap
quicker.

Er... it has nothing do do with when you first touch. The basic rule
is that each journey you pay for contributes to all of the possible
caps that might apply, and if any of those caps is reached you only
pay the difference (or zero).

Surely the point is that if 'first touch in that day' is later than 0930 the
peak daily cap becomes irrelevant? That is what I was trying to get across.
And the time of touching in is very relevant, because that determines the
charge, not the actual journey start time...

It would also be irrelevant if the total charge before 0930 was less
than the difference between the peak and off-peak caps. Touching
before 0930 doesn't mean that you will be subsequently charged up to
the peak cap, only to the off-peak cap plus your first fare.
