But you cannot use the tickets at any intermediate station as I
understand matters. You will note at Walthamstow Central that the

Well you learn something new everyday. I do find that a very odd ruling
in the way singles and returns are OK but LT cards are not. Must be
something to do with the apportionment process or somesuch.

validators have been installed at the entrances to both WAGN platforms.

Of particular interest to me is St James Street, which isn't an
Underground interchange. If there's no reader, Oyster won't know the
journey has ended and will charge a zone 1-6 fare.

Well given the above info re the validity then equipment should be being
installed at Bethnal Green, Cambridge Heath, London Fields, Hackney
Downs, Clapton, St James St, Rectory Road, Stoke Newington and Stamford
Hill stations. That's quite an undertaking in such a short time.

I've also spotted a problem given the recent decision to close the
Walthamstow Central Ticket hall after 21.00. All the validators are in
there and the side gate has no such facility. Therefore inter available
pre-pay will not work where validators are not provided at these late
night side exits - I believe Stoke Newington station certainly works
like this.
