Default Oyster Route Validators - compulsory to touch?

This would also be true for a touch out on the barrier line at Wimbledon

you hadn't used the special validator when getting off the tram, as I
understand it from previous discussions...


No, that's not correct. So long as one has correctly touched-in at a
tram stop before travelling to Wimbledon, then if the journey is
finishing at Wimbledon (and the passenger is thus exiting the station)
there's no requirement to touch on anything again on the tram platform
after alighting from the tram. The Oyster readers on the gates at
Wimbledon will correctly identify that you're an exiting tram
passenger who's paid their fare and will let you through (and if the
gates are locked open then you wouldn't even need to touch-out on the
gate's Oyster reader, though of course you can still do so).


Thanks for the correction - I'm sure that's been the previous explanation,
but we live and learn...
