Then there is the new DLR station at Stratford International. There
are no 'touch out' machines there (that I could find).

In which case you didn't look very hard...

It was raining, cold, windy and I was bored with the journey. So no I
didn't see these two (only two?).

Those are the ones at the western end of the station. I took a picture
of that entrance from the other angle on Thursday:

There are also at least two others at the eastern side, opposite the
High Speed station:

Once can be seen behind the first pillar on the left, while a
passenger can be seen touching in to the right of the staff members.

I don't agree everyone will need to change at Canning Town, as West
Ham and Stratford regional have better options for people arriving
from west of the City.
