Wouldn't that be eight squids rather than four?

Nope , it only deducts a single journey. Presumably thats the penalty
fare if you realise you've forgotten something on your way to work or
wherever and have to return home so touch in and out at the same
station.

Isn't anything longer than two hours assumed to be two separate journeys?

According to a London Lite article I posted about here around 6 months
ago, the charges for touching in then out at the same station a

- Within 15 minutes: no charge
- Over 15 minutes apart: £8

I've never tried it, though.

Well , it isn't 8 quid any more. Though knowing the journalistic
credibility of that rag it probably never was.

My partner touched in and out at Paddington, late one night, after
finding out he'd missed the last train to his destination. He was
charged £1.50 IIRC.

Jouney History doesn't seem to be working at present. The card has been
used (and Auto Top Ups applied) since 1 June but no journeys are
appearing.
