Default Oyster Card

And the devil in the detail is "what travelcard". There was a worked
example discussed a few months ago that showed that lots of use in Z1,
plus one excursion to Z2 (or was it Z4) at the end of the day, gets
capped at the higher travelcard figure, which is noticeably more than
the Z1 travelcard plus the extra single fare.


There's no such thing as a Z1 only Travelcard (or PAYG cap) - only a
Z1&2 Travelcard / cap.

If it was an excursion to Z4, then I still can't make sense of that
whatsoever - I certainly can't make it compute as being more expensive.


Z12 Travelcard £ 8.40
Z2-Z5 Single £ 2.60 (even cheaper @ £1.40 if off peak by then)

£11.00

Z12345 Travelcard £15.80
