Is it possible for a ticket office to terminate a journey for you,
eg when you are in an OSI but want to start a new journey, either
with a long timeout or it's now off peak but wasn't when the first

It's an added complication, but maybe you need a new kind of
validator (on the wall somewhere near a ticket office) which
terminates your journey *now* if you touch on it.


No, that would make it all to complicated.


And it's not already????


Theoretically, no - you just touch-in at the beginning of your
journey, and touch-out at the end. (OK, just one minor complication -
you touch on a pink route validator when you pass one if you're
specifically routing your journey to avoid zone 1.)

What's a shame is that the OSI system (or at least the implementation
thereof) appears to be causing a certain degree of grief.
