To be fair, it is not unreasonable to expect the users to operate the

Yes, but if you are a foreign visitor, finding out all the arcane rules
and then finding all the oyster pads can be pretty difficult. Is it
obvious that on tubes you have to touch in and out, but on buses just
touch in. Then what do you do on a tram? And does the answer depend on
whether you take the tram from a boarding point with a gate-line like
Wimbledon, or one without?

And in this case - does it make a difference if the tram is one running in
Croydon or one running in Docklands?

(and the answer is a most confusing - YES it does)
