You have to validate in at Waterloo (Waterloo & City) platforms, as
you always need to have swiped in and out for the part of your journey
where Prepay is valid, even if you havea vaild travelcard covering all
the zones.


But I have already swiped in at Vauxhall NR and the signs say quite
clearly that only Prepay users need to swipe.


Yes, you must ignore the signs, and treat NR gates as purely there for
access control with your valid Travelcard.

On the other hand, some LU stations will not charge you for unresolved
journeys if you have a valid travelcard, such as Kentish Town, Queens
Park, and any station where a non-Prepay journey might be possible.
