Then I thought for even longer periods, which I would have thought

include your hour long journey, you'd be considered to have make one
journey without an exit, and then another one without an entry and so
be debited another maximum fare in addition to the one on entry. Or if
your
station has entry/exit validators instead of a gateline you would be
considered to have made one journey without an exit and were now
starting another one.


I don't think you can ever be regarded as having made an exit without
an entry. If you attempt an exit at a gateline when you don't have a
journey open, surely you'll get "seek assistance"?


I don't think so, no - though if there's a full RPI ticket check at the
station I think the gates can be configured to do that.

(I'm not too sure about some of Graham J's comments - I think he's rather
overcomplicating the situation - I'll try and return to them later.)


No sooner do I post the above that than I see Jack's post, which appears to
confirm Graham's take on it all! Interesting stuff, need to digest it all a
little though.
