Default BBC discovers that Oyster users can be overcharged for incomplete journeys

Paul Corfield wrote

Incidentally, I noticed that Wimbledon is one of the stations with a


high record of "overcharging". I bet that's large numbers of people
still not understanding the peculiar Oyster arrangements there.


Having looked at the list I am still bemused as to why there are the
problems that there are. I would be surprised if the tube / rail to
tramlink arrangements were the sole cause of problems at Wimbledon.

The
last time I was there (a fair while ago) there was signage explaining
what to do for tramlink journeys.


Note that "high record" just means large numbers. If you divide by the
station footfall or the numbers interchanging there I expect the
numbers would be a lot more even.
