Default Does Oyster know the tube route you have taken?

Forest Gate.


Let's rephrase a little: always touch in when you enter the area
covered by pre-pay (the tube, plus some extras).


This could be the basis of a publicity campaign to avoid all this
confusion - define appropriate parts of the network as an "Oyster Area"
or something like that, and tell people to always touch in and out of
Oyster Area. Where there are validators for Tube/rail interchange, e.g.
Highbury & Islington, then there should be a big, clear notice (which
people can't help seeing) that says that you are entering/leaving an
"Oyster Area". ("Have you touched in/out?" - like the congestion charge
reminder road signs "Have you paid?".)
