Nothing changes.



Wood Green tube's closed this weekend, so instead of walking to the
station, I'm taking a bus to Turnpike Lane. While the cost of two PAYG
singles already take me beyond the z1-3 cap (with a 16-25 railcard),
I'm curious to know what would happen to the bus fare I didn't reach
the cap.

In truth I'd think that trying to devise a procedure whereby
passengers were not charged for travelling on regular local bus
services in such situations would be nightmarishly complex and fraught
with untold potential problems.

Rail replacement bus services are however effectively free to holders
of Oyster cards.

On this point, there's still been no answer on how journey
continuations are managed with replacement buses, including long term
ones.

Is Shadwell and Whitechapel an outerchange with a long time limit?
Does it require touching on the bus?

I was wondering what would have been charged on the DLR recently, but
decided to travel via West Ham and avoid the problem.
