But assuming they touch out within their Travelcard zones, what
(penalty?) charge would hit your PAYG balance?


None AFAICS. This is a known loophole just as it is now, and has
been ever since seasons onOysterbecame available, because there is
no requirement to touch in if there is no gateline...


They will pay the Mixed Travel Entry / Exit (maximum fare) charge -
just as they have done since September


You've just dived in out of context. We are discussing someone who doesn't
bother to touch in outside his travelcard zones. He will be travelling
without a ticket, the system cannot guess whereabouts he didn't touch in...
