But capping will work against the LT Card price and not One Day

exclusively served by NR trains you would have no way in which to
register your trips and therefore contribute to your daily total of
rides that would be capped at the One Day Travelcard price.

Correct. However, it would work fine if you only used tubes. Since this
will result in people paying more than they really should, the error is in
favour of TfL, not passengers, and so it shouldn't stop the rollout.
