Welwyn Garden City PAYG Contactless Capping

[r1ch4r6]

Since contactless has now been enabled at Welwyn Garden City, I am wondering about how capping works between WGC and Zone 1.

On the TFL page it says “Caps don't apply at these stations” - https://tfl.gov.uk/fares/find-fares/national-rail-fares-beyond-zone-9#on-this-page-0

But if I travel from Welwyn Garden City to Green Park, will capping be calculated between zones 1-6 (Hadley Wood is boundary)?

Any ideas appreciated.

Journeys to and from Welwyn Garden City aren't included in the caps, and I can't see the capping system calculating between the Zones until you make another separate journey fully with zones that count towards the caps.

Capping is coming soon to Brookmans Park, Welham Green, Hatfield, and Welwyn Garden City
Journeys from the above stations will initially not benefit from capping. This will be addressed in early 2020 when new functionality becomes available. A paper Travelcard is likely to be a better option for customers making multiple trips

No. Any journey to/from an uncapped station will be charged in full regardless.
