Hi Busong,
“Am I right in thinking that if I had done the rail journeys in reverse order and hit the Z1-2 cap first before travelling out to Zone 6, I will only be charged Z3-6 for that final journey?”
If you had reached the zone 1-2 cap before embarking on a zone 2-6 journey then you’d be charged for the zone 2-6 journey in full. As it happens, in your case that wouldn’t make a difference as the zone 2-6 and 3-6 off-peak fares are the same. As Alan notes above, you would need to have made the bus journeys before the rail journey to West Drayton as well.
