Default How do I pay for DLR? And barrier stuck open on underground
There are a few varieties of problem with not touching in on the DLR:

1) Oyster PAYG:
Fail to touch in, succeed in touching out, max fare £8.
Fail to touch in, fail to touch out JACKPOT! You have evaded your fare.

2) Oyster travelcard WITH zone 1:
Fail to touch in, succeed in touching out - normally no problem.

3) Oyster travelcard WITHOUT zone 1:
If you do not travel through zone 1, then no problem.
Travel through zone 1 and touch out JACKPOT! You have saved money.

4) CPC:
Fail to touch in, succeed in touching out, max charge! FAIL!
Fail to touch in, fail to touch out JACKPOT! as before.
Touch in, don't touch out, FAIL, max fare.
Both the fails incur a strike from TfL. Three strikes and card is blacklisted.
