Default The trouble with being an edge case

No reply yet - however, at lunchtime today, I popped down to Shepherd's
Bush, to see if I could give it another go. The Overground station (as
often seems to be the case when you try asking for something out of the
ordinary there) said they didn't know how to do that, and pointed me
across the road to the Underground station. The chap at the Underground
ticket office, on the other hand, said "I'm pretty sure we can do
that", and gave it a go.
My travelcard runs out today, so I'll report back after I've done some
off-peak travel as to whether it's actually worked.


Oh dear - replying to myself...

This does appear to be working: I did a fair bit of off-peak travel
over the weekend in zones 1-3, and it's been capped at £3.80. Which is
rather good news.

So you *can* get discounted off-peak daily price capping on a
Barclaycard OnePulse card when used in combination with a National Rail
Railcard; you just need to find a ticket office who know what they're
doing to set it up for you.

The pricing information can be found at
