My journey involves starting at 9:30am from Pinner and going to Forest
Hill. This is off peak.
I used to use southern from London bridge but now the East London line
as opened I can interchange at canada water.

I buy a YP discounted travel card for £5.00 PAPER TICKET
I return during the evening peak, for which my paper ticket is still
valid.

I have oyster PAYG which also has my YP card on it.

How would the cap work, if I make 2 journeys 1 off peak, and the other
peak, if I used my oyster card.

Oyster would be more convenient as I dont have to queue.

If your first journey starts after 09:30 the off-peak cap applies, surely?
