Yes - all the normal fares (£3.10 CDR?) are still available, using the NR
planner - as I've said before, LO is still part of the rail network. There
must be other lines where people have to decide whether to buy a NR style
return ticket, or use Oyster - those outer bits of the Met/Chiltern for
instance?

How will capping work? How does it work on those other lines?

I still don't understand why there isn't some web pages somewhere
laying all this out. Presumably someone has already thought about all
this - or are they waiting to see which passengers complain before
deciding what to do?

I presume (given that you've said everything is charged exactly as
before) that you'll get a Zsomething-6 cap plus singles between Hatch
End and whatever stations you're visiting. Or maybe any journey that
starts/terminates north of Z6 will be charged at NR rates? After all,
at the moment, if you have an oyster card that's reached it's cap
you'll have to leave the DC line at H&W and then buy a NR single to
complete your journey. If you buy a NR single from say Wembley Central
you'll not get a discount for having a capped oyster card. And if you
don't touch out at H&W you'll get an unresolved journey.

At weekends there are often lots of people making these short journeys
on the DC line. (Maybe there are during the week as well but I'm
almost never on the DC line outside of a weekend). So on Sunday you're
going to get lots of people asking these questions.

(Actually, my guess is that oyster won't be ready at these stations at
the weekend so the information hasn't been published to stop people
thinking they will be able to use it)

I've got a gold card, so I can watch and see what happens but other
people currently use NR singles/returns and ODTC would like to know
the answers to some of these questions before they travel on Sunday/
Monday
