Every month I go over my journey history to find all the times when
Oyster has overcharged me. This is usually because of touches not being

already open, and results in an unresolved journey.
In the month to the 17th of July they overcharged me by ?12.40.

This *never* happens to me. Really. I don't know what you're doing
wrong. (I can take some guesses I suppose.)


Please do! As far as I know the only thing I'm doing that is unusual is
that I bother to check my journey history and claim refunds.

I find that one can avoid it by never going into a gate when it is open.
Wait a second or so after the last person goes through ...


But wasn't Oyster sold to us as being faster than paper tickets? Your
suggestion makes it slower, so is obviously not how TfL intend them to
be used.
