I'm planning to make a Journey from Clapham Junction to Barking or Dagenham Dock on Saturday using Oyster.
I am planning to go via the GOBLIN as I haven't been that way before and there's a via Gospel Oak fare which is much cheaper than the default.
The potential problem is that the journey time is between 100 and 105 minutes. The oyster maximum journey time for 4 zones (Clapham Jn is Z2 and Dagenham is Z5) is 110 minutes (according to https://oysterfares.com/information-pages/maximum-journey-times/).
As the trains are every 15 minutes and could well be late, the journey time could be legitimately more than the maximum.
I wanted to check that I had the max journey time correct. I was also wondering if the max times are split when touching a pink reader, which I will be at Gospel Oak?
If I do end up being over the max journey time, what do I do? Do I just have to email TfL afterwards? I don't think I have enough credit on the oyster card to have enough left after being charged a maximum fare.
Thanks for any help
