still apply? Sounds like an loop hole for using a travel card before
9:30?
Does anyone know how much a zones 1-6 travel card costs these days?
A z1-6 off-peak Day Travelcard is £6.30, so the corresponding Oyster
cap is £5.80. However, your plan falls down because you can also buy a
z1-6 peak Day Travelcard for £12.40. In this case, your Oyster cap
would be £11.90.
Is it not clever enough to cap at cost of peak single plus off-peak
travelcard, when appropriate?

a mile than cycling it.
So why aren't we all exhorted to wear walking helmets?
