Surely the point is that if 'first touch in that day' is later than 0930 the

It's this part I disagree with:

"If your first touch in takes place before 0930, all your peak and
offpeak
daily fares will be added up and capped at the daily Peak value. "

If (hypothetically) the peak cap were £6 and the off-peak cap were £3,
if you were to make one £1 journey before 9.30am, trips after 9.30
would still be capped at £3, for a total cost for the day of £4.


If from 2nd January suppose I board a 405 bus in Redhill just after
9am and use my PAYG Oyster to travel to Croydon, and onwards to
Victoria by tram and District Line. This means that the off-peak cap
would be applied?

However if I alighted at Coulsdon South to go to Victoria by train and
touched in at Coulsdon South before 9.30 would the different peak time
on rail override the bus cap time?
