This is inconsistent with the other DLR interchange at Greenwich,
because if you don't touch out at (badly sited) pad near the DLR
platform, there is no barrier or touch-out facility at the main
station exit.
I think what it means is that the NR station's ticket barrier isn't
programmed to do PAYG and rejected Abigail's Z1-3 Travelcard. Since
the DLR has its own ticket barrier and exit in the vicinity of the
station, there's no need to go through the NR station to get out from
the DLR. This seems as good a way as any of reminding people PAYG
isn't usable on NR.
This makes more sense than it rejecting a double touch, but it's now
consistent with Greenwich and inconsistent with Stratford ...
All would be solved in general if the DLR paid more attention to the
siting of pads, but I don't know if they are missable at Woolwich.
