Most likely, yes. Where was this?

I tapped in at Waterloo and tapped out with my contactless at Clapham junction.

You will need to contact TfL to have this refunded once it has been charged. You can register your card on TfL's website which will allow you to see the transaction.

Is it TfL or SWR (since the train was SWR)? How much is the maximum fare?

Always TfL within the Oyster/contactless payment area. I'm not sure how much you'll be charged.

thank you! another question: if i had just used contactless on both ends, would the price have been the same as the ticket i bought from trainline?

Probably cheaper, depending on the time and whether you have a railcard.
