Contactless cap, Zone 4 to Zone 4, via Zone 6

I want to travel from Euston to Welling, then Woolwich Arsenal, then end up in Paddington.

Welling and Woolwich are in Zone 4.

I want to get the direct train from Welling to Woolwich, without breaking my journey. It starts and ends in Zone 4, but travels into Zones 5 and 6 on its route.

If I tap in/out at Welling and Woolwich, will it still keep the contactless cap at the Zone 4 price?

You will still keep the zone 4 cap. That is because Welling -> Woolwich Arsenal is charged at the zone 3 to 4 rate (since it has no way of knowing whether or not you changed at Blackheath instead, and gives you the benefit of doubt).

Thanks, that's what I guessed might be the case.
