Oyster travel cap (z2-6 ) if travel is within 2-6 but fare is viaZ1 (UPDATED !!!)

This is especially for Mizter T but I hope that it may be of benefit to others. You may recall my proposed journey Greenford - Camden *Road via Shepherd's Bush (London *Overground), nor crossing into *Z1 and the availability of my z2-6 YPRC cap on Oyster. * I was told that perhaps breaking my journey at *White City may force the cap. Well here is what happened. I had to go to Stratford to meet some friends first. Greenford - White City (Central Line ) = £1.10 Shepherd's Bush - Stratford ( London Overground, changing at Willesden Junction) = £2.20 Stratford - Camden *Road ( London Overground) = £1.10 TOTAL = £4.40 [Z2-6 CAP = £3.00] I had thought that going from ShepB to *Stratford via LO would have resulted in my fare being capped, obviously this did not happen. I was also charged for the Stratford - Camden Road journey. I queried this with Ticket Staff and they said that to get from Shepherd's Bush to Stratford I must have gone through Z1 and that I was going to reach my cap for the day when my Oyster usage reached £5.80 ( 1-6 cap). When I said I used LO via Willesden Junction and did not travel through Z1 they were flummoxed and said I should ring Customer Service. So *can we conclude that Shepherds Bush (LO /WLL/NLL) - Stratford is a via Zone 1 journey / fare *even though the obvious route of choice is not via the central *line ( ie via z1) but via WLL/NLL ? Unfair ? Incorrect ? Salamatsys ! If I interpreted that right, it means that the reader at Shepherds Bush LO is programmed to be the same as the reader at Shepherds Bush Central Line, despite being a separate building and it not being possible to reach the Central Line from it. That does seem to be unfair. |
