Journey history from a ticket machine shows the day of the week but not the
year. The day of the week made it clear which year my wife's 30 March
entries came from. So not hard to work out the year.

Well this one doesn't show day of the week. As far as I can reproduce
it, the first entry on the printout is:
13/11 11:59 Bus Boarding Route 507 £0.80

The fare is, I think, the one applying in 2011 as I have a National
Railcard discount loaded on to my Oyster Card.

Further on I have another one that puzzles me, this says
29/12 14:54 Rejected Entry (Code 21) Covent Garden £0.00

I wasn't in London then either, and have no idea how you get a "Rejected
Entry". Fortunately that didn't result in a charge. I'm coming to the
view that there must be some data corruption going on. I can't check
these old entries online, of course, as that only allows you to ask for
the last 8 weeks, and only one week at a time.
