Default Oyster at Bank

The Oyster card validatoris on the DLR platforms at Bank are set to
"enter" only, and the posters (not just the stickers) say that only
pre-pay holders need to use them, and only when starting their DLR
journey. I still can't really see why they are necessary...


So that people with Oyster PrePay, entering DLR at Bank, don't end up
with an overpriced 'unresolved journey'?


How can you get that far without already having passed through barriers?


Or even having walked past a yellow dot.

If the Oyster reader is there, that seems to me to imply that you can
get that far from the street without passing a target. If so, you must
be able to exit from there to the street without passing one, and IMO
that's too deep to be reasonable.
