Finsbury Park (FPK) is special. If you touch out at FPK and later touch
out at another station, you are charged for one journey. If you touch
out at FPK, a second touch at FPK within 30 minutes is ignored. A second
touch after more than 30 minutes is a touch in.


Thats probably how it works in theory. I wonder in practice?

When I worked in the centre I occasionally used to get off the piccadilly line
at finsbury if it was ****ed and get FCC to palmers green where I touched out.
If I was doing that journey now with a PAYG I'd touch out at finsbury and
simply wouldn't bother to touch out at palmers and frankly FCC could GFT.
