How can you get that far without already having passed through barriers?

Maybe they enter at Bank, maybe they got on at Burnt Oak, where the
ticket office is seldom open and the barriers seldom closed...

But surely they should have "touched in" even if the gates are open.

How can they legitimately be at Bank without having touched in
somewhere?

As Robin says, by using the mobility-impaired lift down to the DLR
platforms.

Easily: Leytonstone High Road to Blackhorse Road (via the GOBLIN)
- Kings Cross (Victoria) - Bank (Northern).

There are no validators at Leytonstone High Road and I think the
interchange between GOBLIN and Victoria is behind the gateline. If
not, then there are other places where one can change from NR to
LuL behind the gate.

So why have a specific validator at Bank? And why did it take so long
to get them working?

Canning Town springs to mind - and one can change on to the DLR there,
too, behind the gate.

I think that Canning Town has validators on the platform.

I don't *recall* seeing any - but perhaps I didn't look thoroughly?

The validators are there for people who use the mobility impaired lift! The
lift goes straight from street level to the platforms, without the
passengers going through any gatelines, therefore those using the lift and
starting/ending their journey at Bank have to touch in at platform level!

I was going to use Stratford in my example (as you can interchange
between NR and central without going through the gateline, and it's
a more realistic route), but I think there are validators near the
DLR platform.

They can be tricky to spot, I admit.

And there are two validators as you enter the ticket hall from the
footbridge at Blackhorse Road. Anyway Pre-Pay isn't valid on the GOBLIN
line.
