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?


Everything to do with the complexities of daily capping for the existing
zones is in the current fares leaflet, the various values are 50p less than
the equivalent day travelcard for the zones used. That explains why there
are 16 different caps for Tube/DLR...

It might reasonably be expected that this document will be republished by
Sunday - but I'm not holding my breath.
BTW, I liked the suggestion that the Oyster readers might not even work...
