Default Gatwick Oyster charge at peak times

I flew into Gatwick Airport on Friday at 4pm and used my Oyster card
to go to Dalston Jct, changing at East Croydon and Brockley. The fair
is capped at £14 but the peak time fare to New Cross Gate, where I've
usually changed and gone from Oyster to a national rail fare, is
listed at £14 but a separate national rail single is £9.90 even at
peak time. Seems TFL is overcharging at peak times if you are only
going to say NCG, and the combined fare to Dalston Jct would be
£12.80. And the non peak is a massive drop from £14 to £8.


The TfL site is showing Gatwick - New Cross Gate as £9.70 peak / £6.50
off peak.
