Thanks for the updated info. There has been some continuity introduced
in the prices, for example the z1-6 discounted cap on Oyster PAYG used
to be £4.60, whereas the cash price of the discounted z1-6 paper
ticket OD Travelcard was £5.00. Both fares are now the same. £3.35 for
z2-6 cap ( including all the NR Lines within the zones) is a damn good
value in anyone's book !


Herne Hill to Watford Junction - why is the main fare shown the one to
avoid zone 1? *How are you meant to manage to do that?

Here's another anomaly (albeit not on the main fare shown) and good
value.

East Croydon to Amersham (avoiding zone 1) is £2.20 off peak!

Clapham Junction to Amersham (avoiding zone 1) is £2.30 off peak

East Croydon to Clapham Junction is £2.00 off peak.


It seems to assume that the default route (without any OSIs) is via
Clapham Junction.
However, if your OSI is on the Thameslink route, you avoid the premium
for zone 1 tube + train fares.
Otherwise, using a Zone 1 NR-Tube OSI charges you the premium.


The section on OEPs seems to suggest that they only last for the first
journey after loading, even if you touch out within your travelcard
zones.
