    My planned journey, with National Railcard Oyster on a holiday, is Willesden Green – West Hampstead return and 2 tram journeys only. I will use National Rail tickets (a combination of a season ticket and a ticket going beyond the Oyster area) to bridge the gap.

    What will I cap at?

    Hi Michael,

    Use of the tram will trigger the zone 1-3 cap of £6.30. You’ll pay £5.80 because the 4 journeys won’t reach the cap.

    As Thameslink was problematic I ended up making the following journeys:

    Willesden Green to Victoria (Underground): £1.80
    Tram: £1.75
    Tram: £1.75
    Bus: £0.00

    Total capped at £5.30

    That’s interesting. How long was there between touching in for the second tram and touching in on the bus? Could that actually have been a hopper?

    No such possibility. There was a trip to Brighton in between!

    OK. Can you give me the times for each journey anyway. I’d like to try and replicate it.

    I think you may have found a bug.
