Default Vital clue in the Watford Jn Oyster PAYG fares mystery...

One big question mark over Oyster PAYG acceptance on London Overground
has been how fares north of Hatch End - i.e. outside the 6 London
zones - will be handled.

One incredibly obvious place to look, which I've only just thought of
(d'oh!), is of course the TfL "Single fare finder" he
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/tickets/faresandtickets/2007/farefinder/


Presumably Oyster PAYG users will benefit from capping within the
London zones 1-6, so I'd guess that if a passenger reaches a cap using
their their Oyster card within zones 1-6 then if they travel from/to
Watford Jn they'd simply be charged the £2 peak/ £1 off-peak to cover
them from Hatch End (last station in zone 6) up to Watford Jn (or vice
versa).


There ought to be specific capping rates for the bit beyond Hatch End, like
the special capping rates for the A-D bits of the Met surely? The Sep07
tickets and fares booklet will need updating though...
