Thanks - I'll bear those in mind, though I suspect it will just be a
matter of arriving as far from either peak as possible and hoping for
the best!

If you are using PAYG from Grays (remember it is valid on C2C) then the
off peak railcard cap is £9.40 for Z1-6 plus Grays. Your PAYG fare
from grays to Z1 will be £3.90 (with discount) - you've therefore got to
make up £5.50 worth of TfL travel to hit the cap. Only you can assess
if you're likely to do that.

I think what I was trying to work out was whether Oyster would be clever
enough to treat the rail journey as separate - if all my journeys are Z1
apart from that first journey from Grays to Fenchurch St, would it
charge me the Z1 cap plus the £3.90 fare in? Or would it keep going for
the Z1-Grays cap?
