Hi,
My wife and I recently travelled together from Heathrow T2&3 to Shenfield on the Elizabeth line (changing at Paddington for the Shenfield train, same platform). The journey started shortly after 17:30 on a weekday.
My wife used Oyster and was charged £20.30. I used contactless and was only charged £15.90. The journey details for my contactless journey say “This journey was cheaper or free today because you reached an All Services Daily cap”.
Neither of us made any other journeys that day (or indeed that week).
I’m struggling to understand why the contactless fare was so much cheaper. I was surprised that I managed to hit a daily cap with a single fare 🙂
Can anyone explain?
Thanks
Stu
