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'?

Or as I wanted to do, but couldn't, on Tuesday at 09:31, convert from
pre-pay Oyster to off-peak Travelcard when changing at Bank from
Northern line to DLR. They wouldn't let me touch out.

(And yes, I could have gone to the exit, gone out on Oyster and come
back in on Travelcard, but life's too short!)
