Could someone remind me what happens if you touch in with a small

You get a slight overdraft on the card.

Cheers. So it will not be until the start of the next attempted journey
that you'll find you can't touch in?

Yes. IIRC you can even do an OSI while your balance is negative
(though I haven't tried this for a while).

Even if that takes you into Zone 1 and you have less than £1.60 credit on
the card?
