Also note the throwaway line 'Train operators will be able to set their own
prices for journeys.' Which can be interpreted a few ways, and probably will
be...

So not the same fare as you would have paid travelling entirely on the
UndergrounD? eg A different fare to get to Richmond, depending on the
train you caught.

How will the daily capping work, in that case.

And is the inclusion of overground services to Heathrow an indication
that Heathrow Connect will be an Oysterable service?

Yes - but there have been a number of previous uk.t.l threads on the matter,
so I won't add to that.

Same as now, travel mode will not matter, except the Oyster PAYG daily caps
are rising by 50p to be the same as the equivalent paper travelcard.
According to the TfL fares announcement this is because Oyster no longer has
the disadvantage of limited NR coverage.

Last info I saw was that Connect beyond Hayes and Harlington remains outside
PAYG, but don't quote me.

But at least that means no individual NR fare can exceed the relevant
daily cap.
