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

No probs, and if that was my previous explanation, then apologies for
it being unclear or misleading! I'm pretty much 100% certain this is
how it's been since the coming of Oyster.

Incidentally I recall being rather unimpressed at the information
provided at Wimbledon when Oyster first arrived, though eventually
posters were displayed which were sort-of helpful. I'm not sure of
what the situation is like there now (post PAYG on NR), haven't been
there for a while, but I did stop by at Elmers End a couple of months
or so ago (was actually driving past) to have a look at what
information and advice was displayed for Oyster users - and I was
disappointed to find that there was nothing at all. (Elmers End isn't
gated, by the way.)
