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!

sigh



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?



Yes. Such journeys which are penalised with the maximum fare are not
eligible for capping.
