Interesting findings from an FOI
Grace periods for the following:
1) Touching in after the start of the AM peak? Peak starts at 06.35.
2) Touching in before the end of the AM peak? Off-peak starts at 09.27.
3) Touching in after the start of the PM peak? Peak starts at 16.05.
4) Touching in before the end of the PM peak? Off-peak starts at 18.57.
It also states, "Please note that the grace times quoted above apply for both Oyster and
Contactless. The quoted times are as set at the particular validation
devices and these may sometimes vary from true time; the grace times are
therefore not guaranteed to apply from the perception of the user."
So, the peaks are 16 minutes shorter than advertised, who knew?
