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

time...


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.


Yes I follow that now thanks, it would have been better to say
'up to a possible maximum of the Peak cap'?
Makes more sense with the figures. Just hope I haven't lost the OP...
