Eh? Only PAYG customers do need to swipe in - if you have a Travelcard

You might disapprove of this policy out of some misguided anti-season-
ticket-holder-animosity, but it's The Case [why the flaming hell would
it not be? They have paid a great deal of money for a valid ticket

That's not quite true. *If you have a zone 1 - 2 travelcard on Oyster
and continue to West Ruislip via Bank using PAYG for the excess, you
do need to touch in somewhere. *True, you can do it at Bank, but might
as well be at your starting station to avoid forgetting.

Hence "that covers you for the zones you're intending to travel in"
above.

Yeah, I replied to the wrong message, sorry (wonders of Google).
