How do peak/off peak times work on the TfL network with the Oyster card?
The section on TfL's website dealing with peak and off-peak times specifies the times but it doesn't specify if those are considered when card holders touch in or when they touch out.
Say, I board a train at 18:45 from Euston and arrive at Watford Junction at 19:07. The journey started during the peak time but ended during the off-peak time. What fare will I be charged - the peak or the off-peak?
Best Answer
There is a 5 min grace period So Peak is from 635 to 927 And from 1605 to 1857

Peak fares - Monday to Friday (not on public holidays) between 06:30 and 09:30, and between 16:00 and 19:00. Off-peak fares - at all other times and if you travel from a station outside Zone 1 to a station in Zone 1 between 16:00 and 19:00, Monday to Friday.What are off-peak times TfL?
Off-peak fares apply to our rail services between 09:30 and 16:00 and after 19:00 on weekdays, and during weekends and bank holidays. However, if you travel into Zone 1 after 09:30, you will always be charged an off-peak fare, even during the afternoon and evening peak.How do off-peak fares work?
Buy anytime, travel off-peak Off-Peak fares are cheaper tickets for travelling on trains that are less busy. Offering good value for money, these tickets may require you to travel at specific times of day, days of the week or on a specific route.Is it cheaper to use an Oyster card or contactless?
There is a very small financial advantage to using a contactless card if you're in London for more than a week and travel extensively every single day (weekly capping) but otherwise it's no cheaper than using an Oyster.Oyster Tips That Will Save You Money
