The Oyster card validatoris on the DLR platforms at Bank are set to
"enter" only, and the posters (not just the stickers) say that only
pre-pay holders need to use them, and only when starting their DLR
journey. I still can't really see why they are necessary...

So that people with Oyster PrePay, entering DLR at Bank, don't end up
with an overpriced 'unresolved journey'?


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?

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!

Then how about their return journeys? They are "entry-only"
validators.

And why weren't they placed by the lifts if that is what they are
for?

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?
