1) Should there have been an OSI applied on your return journey?

Fenchurch Street NR exit 15:32

I deliberately phrased my points as queries because of my incomplete
knowledge of the subject and I think I may well have been wise to do
so as I
now believe the answer to point 1) may well actually be NO. Looking
athttp://www.dragondark.co.uk/osi/osi.pdf, which gives a recent list
of out of
station interchanges (and is consistent with other lists), there is
an OSI
shown between Fenchurch Street and Liverpool Street NR, but there is
NOT one
between Fenchurch Street and Liverpool Street LU. It seems if you
are
changing to the underground from Fenchurch Street you are actually
expected
to use Aldgate, Bank, Monument or Tower Hill.

So I think you were actually charged correctly for that leg of your
journey,
with just the inconsistency (in your favour) over a £9.40 cap
seemingly
having been applied when the fare tables online suggest it should
have been
£9.50.

So that seems to only leave the question of whether your journey from
Ockendon to Fenchurch Street should have had the railcard discount
applied
to it. I can't immediately think why the answer would be no.

I ought to have paid more attention before, but how the eck can
Fenchurch Street to Bank be an OSI when Cannon Street to Bank is not?

The latter is one that I would naturally use and it wouldn't have
occurred to me not to do it on PAYG, but luckily I happen not to have
done.

I'm not sure the list posted above is up-to-date. The list in the
National Rail Fares Manual is a bit different and does include Cannon
St - Bank as an OSI.
