I think the Lancs subsidised routes have to participate in the fare cap and Lancs promotional offers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Preston Bus routes in Preston subsidised by Lancs (now LCCA) accept all the county offers.
The 311, 312 and 319 which are all Preston bus and all subsidised do accept the fare cap

When Preston Bus opted out of the fare cap Lancashire CC were very clear that contracted services are not affected. At the time the £1 evening fare cap was still in place. It created the bizarre situation on some routes where the fare could be £3.50 on the last daytime commercial service, and just £1 on the first contracted evening service.

Indeed, which is why services like the 48 are useful for shopping trips that could otherwise cost you £5+ for just a return there and back
