The situation has been improved by the acceptance of PAYG on NR.
Previously, at Stratford you could ignore the pads at the end of the
DLR and on the Central platforms and touch out at the barrier.
PAYG on NR has only reduced the numbers of people needing the platform
validators, it hasn't allowed the facility to be removed *- they are
basically there for people transferring to/from NR services that extend
beyond zone 6, just like those at Wimbledon.

What happens now if one touches on the platform pads when interchanging?
Does it terminate the PAYG journey completely or does touching out further
down the line make it an unnecessary interchange touch?

Many have been switched off, like at London Bridge. But I was getting
at the fact that there now always has to be something at the NR exit,
whereas in the past you might have missed the platform validator (as
on the DLR at Greenwich) and then not had the opportunity to pass
another one.
