But what is the principle? It's effectively no different from buying a
book of ten stamps when you only have an immediate need for one, is it?
You are not penalised for buying one stamp on its own instead.
The price of a book of 12 stamps is 12 times the price of one.
For the life of me, I can't see how either of those comments relates to
the discussion in hand.

If you want to make a single journey with Oyster, how are you penalised?
If you make a multiple journey, then Oyster can give you a discount
compared with buying individual tickets through the capping process.

The point I was making about the purchase of a stamp book was in light
of your earlier comment about losing interest on a few quid.
