Rats!

Anyway Pre-Pay isn't valid on the GOBLIN
line.

So our imaginary customer has a zone 2-4 travelcard on their oyster.

Then they only need to touch in/out to open the gates, not for any other
reason. When I had a Travelcard on mine, I must have done some very
weird journeys.....

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?

Yes, and make sure you use the correct PIN number if you use an ATM
machine :-)

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!)

Funny goings on with Oyster at bank remind me of a long-term glitch with one
day travelcards and return tickets with the barriers at Bank - I used to
pass through regularly and with those tickets at Bank for some reason the
barrier would open but then rapidly shut on you again, leaving you to
wrestle your way through. Only ever found this at Bank. Emails to LT / tfl
ignored. Anyone know if its still a problem?
