If I understand you right. When capping comes in it will work on the price
stucture for peak time travelcards and LT cards not off peak travelcards.

If this is correct most customers will still be better off with a paper

When do you think capping will work at OPTC prices

Presumably when/if all the TOCs that participate in the Travelcard
scheme have validators/gatelines installed at all their stations.

Which will most likely be...erm...never, given the number of unstaffed
stations and stations only staffed part-time in the London area, which
