They are solely checking for people who travel through zone 1 without a
zone 1 ticket. This is marked on the ticket with the nice colour
triangles

What colours are used? And how large are the triangles? I've always had
seasons that include zone 1 so I've not seen them.

It's only if you buy the ticket outside zone 1, even a ticket with zone
1 validity will have triangles if it's bought outside zone 1. the
triangles are about 1/3 to 1/2 the height of the ticket, and there's
normally a row of about 3 or 4 pointing upwards at the bottom.

afaik the colours a

red: north
green: east
blue: south
yellow: west

(central: nothing)

sorry this is a bit hazy, not had a lu-issued paper ticket for a while!

the boundaries aren't exactly intuitive either (eg canada water is east,
not south)

NB i might have got red and blue reversed, but i *think* this is the way
it works
