How are the fares calculated when you entry is before 7am and exit
after 7am or entry before 7pm and exit after 7pm?


Is it that if any entry/exit time is in the 7am-7pm window then you
get charged the higher price or is it the entry (exit) time that is
considered?


For example, I'm (probably) going to do Watford (met) to Moorgate
tomorrow - journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk says 06:03 to 06:57 with a change
at Moor Park. If this doesn't get in until 07:01 then what will the
charge be?


The Oyster charge depends on when you enter the station. As long as you
exit within two hours, the exit time doesn't make any difference.


Thanks. Although I actually managed to exit before 7am anyway.

On the history it just says "06:56" Watford - Moorgate which is my
exit time.

I'm now trying to find out why my auto-topup hasn't worked (I thought
it should trigger when you go below 5GBP.

Grrr. I've no idea what my username or password were so:
1. request username.
2. Get email and request password
3. Login with username and password:
Due to a site upgrade we need to email you a new password (huh?)
4. Get Another new password.
5. Login

But anyway - it appears that autotopup will only be triggered when I
next touch in.

That means I need to keep a careful eye on the card - if it triggered
when I touched out then if the card was out of date I could get an
email to tell me to update the details, This way I'll only find out
when it doesn't let me in.

(To give some idea of my usage, I set up autotopup on 16th March with
10GBP and this is the first time the balance has been low enough to
trigger)
