Adult PAYG fares will be charged but there is a discounted daily off

Off-peak being defined how for this purpose, pray?

As per Off Peak One Day Travelcard times - i.e. after 09.30 M-F. This
is no different to the existing off peak capping rules.

You may well be charged a fare at the higher price that applies between
07.00 - 19.00 but if that is after 09.30 then the off peak cap applies.
Alternatively if there is only one trip prior to 09.30 and loads
afterwards your daily charge may well be the fare prior to 09.30 plus
the off peak cap where this is less then the Peak Cap level (typically
the Peak One Day Travelcard price less 50p). Oyster will always go back
and do the sums to ensure the lowest price or combination of prices is
charged.

Confused? - you will be.
