It's come up a few times but no-one seems to know just what the purpose
of the Oyster readers near or at the DLR platforms are for, or what
happens if you touch them whilst entering or interchanging.


If you enter Bank station via the mobility impaired lift in King William
Street these are the first validators you will come across.

This is true but presumably they will also be the last validators you would
come across if exiting Bank via that route and yet it has been suggested
that they are only set for entry which doesn't seem to make much sense.

Also if that is indeed the intention of the validators it would seem trivial
to place a clearly worded notice to that effect by the validators and last
time I passed through there (admittedly not for some time) it was just the
usual one that implied all PAYG users should touch in.
