"Travelling to Wimbledon by Tram using Oyster

You must touch in at the start of your tram journey and touch out
at the gate when leaving Wimbledon station (or on one of the card
readers on Platform 1 - 4 if transferring to the Tube)
Do not touch your card on the yellow reader adjacent to the manual
gate when leaving the station."

What is the difference between "the gate when leaving Wimbledon
station" and "the manual gate when leaving the station"?

A Tramlink validation allows you to open the exit gates at
Wimbledon, but tram journeys do not require touching out, so there is
no revenue implication.

The manual gate validator will regard a touch as starting a new
tube PAYG journey.

But what is its purpose by the exit gate?

For tube to tram interchange, what is not clear from the FAQs is
whether a touch in on the validator on Platform 10 resolves a tube
journey without a touch out on Platforms 1-4.
