Default Entering and leaving a station within a few moments

That could result in people entering, then touching the exit gate and
not going through to get free entry to the system.


They still have to get out again. And if they touch their oyster on an
exit gate they'll get stiffed for the maximum fare. Unless they vault over
the gates of course but those sorts of people wouldn't pay anyway.


There are still ways to escape, like via the DLR and some connections to
National Rail.
