Default Capping mishandled

Yes, I did not refer to the fares tables and used the wrong figures in
that post.

The Peak 1-4 cap is £10.60.

£12 could have been charged if the 1-4 cap had been applied and after
that, a single Tube only Off-Peak journey between a station in Z5 or
Z6 and a station in zones 2-6 was made (£1.40)


But why did the total jump all the way from £12 to £14.40 (not £13.40)
when a further £1.40 fare was added?

Or was that indeed an error (as vaguely confirm by the helpline's
refund)?

The earlier suggestion was that Oyster was looking at the possibility of
him having reached the Z6 cap (£16) but as he was short of that, charged
the sum of all his singles instead.
