The way that I understand capping works is that your set of journeys
would

a) set the peak cap because you travelled prior to 0930.
b) set the zonal cap initially at Z14 which would then give you a cap
of £10.60 to meet. Your peak journeys (£10.20) did not do this so the
next trip, *if within Z14* would then trigger the peak Z14 cap.
c) However your next journey was to Zone 5 so the cap rises to Z16
peak cap at £15.80.
d) Your subsequent journeys would all continue to be added to your
balance for the day until you exceeded £15.80. Therefore the charge
of £14.40 is actually correct.

So if the OP had done lots of Z14 journeys (let's say 30 of them during
the day) and then one single Z45 journey, the sequence would have been:

b) Set the cap at £10.60 and cap all those journeys.
c) When the last journey was made, change the cap to £15.80 and make the
single charge of £1.40 for that journey.

Is that right? Or will it suddenly jump the charge to £15.80 on that
last journey?

If I'm right, then you're saying that the order in which journeys are
made alters the fare. That seems a little unreasonable to me. If the
charge suddenly jumps, that would be somewhat surprising.
