This is really quite difficult in that you really made two separate
trips on your outward journey; Hillingdon - Bow and then Bow - Clapham
Common. However the fact you went through two OSIs in short succession
made it impossible for the system to determine that. I could foresee
"officialdom" arguing that you were attempting to use PAYG as some form
of rover ticket.

What is daily capping meant to be if it isn't "some sort of rover ticket"?

Which is exactly what I went on to say!

If the systems knows exactly where you've been during the more than
two hours, what is the justification for the penalty if you take more
than two hours? Why not at least just charge for a double journey?

Is it because people are suspected of train-spotting, for which they
have to be penalised?

Another question, if you take more than two hours for a journey after
capping has applied, are you still charged £4?
