newspaper saying:
The Swiss Cottage passengers had to pay for their journeys by touching
out on their Oyster cards as they left the station.


Surely they were saving themselves an unresolved journey, or would they
actually have one timed-out journey *plus* a second unresolved one?


If someone in the ticket office at one of the bombed stations had made an
announcement for people to come to the office if they wanted a refund then I
suspect at best he would have been accused of taking the **** and ended up
splashed across the Daily Wail with some ranting headline.

I wonder if theres an option to set the gates up so that the open journey
on the card is deleted and no money is taken?
