If you "wander out" of a station LU now kindly stitch you for the full fare
to that zone on PAYG oyster even if its obvious going by times that you
couldn't have been anywhere.

They were all milling about like lost sheep outside the gate-line, so
hadn't touched in.

Btw , have you ever caught a bus in the evening rush hour when the tube is
down? You'd be quicker walking.

I did, and no, it wouldn't have been.

Sorry to put facts in the way of your rant.
