The explanation for those does seem to be the possibility of arriving
via the lift without passing a gate. I've never had a problem with
not touching there. A touch at the DLR one end and LU the other end,
with no touch while changing, has always resulted in me being charged
for one LU/DLR journey at the right price.

There's a big sign by the departures one at Bank that talks about "if
you're going outside your zones", so I think it's for people who have
a Travelcard and have arrived from somewhere ungated where they don't
need to touch in (Waterloo W&C?).


Yes, that has to be it (and the W&C platforms at Waterloo are indeed
ungated). However if any such passengers touched-in at the beginning
of their journey (i.e. at the ungated Tube station, or touched-in on
transferring from National Rail to the Tube at say Ealing Broadway)
then they wouldn't need to do so again at Bank DLR. There's no harm in
providing some readers at Bank for this purpose anyway though.
