Why can't they charge off-peak cap on travel prior to 0630, if no
further travel is done until after 0930 (and before or after the pm
peak)?

They do. See:http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/oysteronline/9261.aspx

"If the total cost of your journeys is less than the peak cap, you will
be charged separately for any journeys taken during peak hours, plus the
off-peak cap."


You've missed the OP's point - he is asking why Tube journeys between
0430 and 0630, which are charged at the Off-Peak Oyster single fare,
don't contribute to the Off-Peak cap as opposed to the Peak cap as
they are currently configured to do.

An example of the scenario Chris has in mind is someone who makes a
Tube journey between half-five and six in the morning, then doesn't
make any journeys in the 0630 to 0930 window, then makes further
journeys after that - he is asking why the pre-0630 journey couldn't
simply contribute to the Off-Peak cap.
