Pay As You Go with Contactless Caps
Valid as of 5 November 2025 until further notice
Capping limits how much you pay for all your journeys. When your pay as you go with contactless journeys into and within London add up to a certain amount in a day or week (Monday to Sunday), you won’t be charged any more.
Your fare will be capped at either a daily peak rate, daily off-peak rate or a Monday to Sunday rate. The fare you are charged is determined by when you touch in with your contactless card or device:
Morning peak times apply 6:30 to 9:30, Monday to Friday
Evening peak times apply 16:00 to 19:00, Monday to Friday, when you are travelling from or via stations in the London Zones 1 to 9. However any pay as you go with contactless journeys made between 16:00 and 19:00 will still count towards an off-peak cap
If you travel from a station with a listed ‘touch in time’ on a weekday, between the touch in time and 9:30, you will be charged a peak pay as you go fare. However, your journey will count towards an off-peak cap
For journeys outside London, please check evening peak times with the train company you’re travelling with.
Weekends and bank holidays are off-peak all day.
