So, it looks like you have two unresolved journeys, where the
touch-out was missed. When it's busy at Kings Cross St Pancras,
especially the old ticket hall, it seems to me to again quite easy to
inadvertently "follow through" with your own touch-out not
registering.


And at Westminster off peak with its enormous gateline? Seems odd. She
doesn't recall too much detail because of the following day's drama.


Like I said yesterday, the gates there also seem susceptible to
"following through".

Too late now but I have advised my wife to follow my technique. I lay the
car down on the pad and wait till I see the balance.


I prefer to wait for the gates to close after the person in front, then
touch.
