[no touch out]
so my touch out at Thornton Heath went missing. But my journey history
says:

19:06 - ???? Aldgate East to [No touch-out], cost: GBP5.10

Which is apparently the right amount.

No, as you touched in after 1900, the correct fare would be ?4.10.


Are you sure? If that's the case then they're being *really* naughty,
because the website says:

" You do not currently have any incomplete journeys that are eligible
for an online refund application. "

Making things even worse, they only provide a phone number as a means of
contacting them.
