Disabled Railcard discount and the reduced daily cap
I linked my new national rail disabled railcard to my oyster card this morning. As I had already taken a bus journey and a train journey to get to Victoria underground station I asked whether these earlier journeys would be included in the reduced disabled persons railcard discount cap or just the journeys going forward and he fixated on the bus journey and categorically said buses were not included in the cap.
I tried to explain I wasn't talking about using buses all the time but in mixed train/bus mode. But he just explained forget about the buses it doesn't cover the buses.
I use the bus four separate times and two rail journeys. If the reduced cap only covers the train - not only will I not hit the cap but the two reduced train fares + 4x1.75 will be more than the ordinary daily cap? - Zone 1-5 is usually £15.30 - reduced cap £10.15 - Thanks
