If you have a season ticket why bother.

Because if you have a zones 2-5 travelcard and you travel from King George V

to Finchley, changing at Bank, without touching in, you are evading the fare

for zone 1.

I can't say I'd be so wrecked with guilt if making that trip as to bother.
Plus you could always say you got the north london line to stratford and
skipped zone 1 altogether. Tbh I think its somewhat unreasonable of TfL to
assume you took the most expensive route unless you touched at an interchange

machine. It should be the other way around - assume you took the cheapest
route unless there is no alternative.

Wasn't the point that if you get gripped somewhere in the Z1 area they
could legitimately claim you were avoiding the fare unless you'd touched in?

That might explain the regular Oyster checks between Shadwell and Bank...

Possibly. They're certainly cynical enough to do that.
