Having just attended pre-pay and smartcard training,I can confirm that
price capping will not be available due to a problem with the software.
So all customers that intend to make multiple journeys on LUL after Jan
4th
should be advised to buy 1day travelcards.
The full rollout of oyster will not be complete until Feb 28th nee march.

TC 50/2003 quotes "Summer 2004". Management were given quite a bit of stick
regarding the lack of capping from 4th January 2004. Stay tuned for further
news that everyone who has already "purchased" an oystercard is going to be
contacted to let them know that it'll only be useful if you do 1 or 2
journeys and for them not to use it as a 1 day travelcard until advised
otherwise. There should be some senior managers out and about the first week
who no-doubt, be pointed out by the station staff for customers to rant at
about it!
