Default Oyster charging for journeys that don't happen

What do you suggest?

Landside validators to confirm you've left the platform.

Nah, there's a far more simple solution - if no one goes through the gates
on a touch out (infra red beam not triggered) before they close THEN you
deduct a penalty fare otherwise you refund.

The fare dodgers could just wave an umbrella/briefcase through the beam
to get it to falsely register their departure.
