Quite. Hasn't this also been used at Sloane Square during the Flower
Show in the past?

I had a journey described as being 'auto-completed' when I was making
an incredibly last minute (pre-bongs) dash from one New Year's Eve
party to another a few years ago - when I got to my destination Tube
station (10/15 mins to midnight) the gates were all open and I think
the Oyster card readers were also actually off (bear in mind NYE free
travel kicks in at 2345), but when I checked later (next day) it was
shown as 'auto-completed'.
