Hello

I want to travel to Canary Warf from Worcester Park using the London
Overground from Clapham Junction.

I will touch in at Worcester Park but do I have to touch the pink reader
at Clapham Junction before I get on the Overground...?

Thanks for your help.


Please check your journey in the TfL Single Fare Finder. That
specifies the default route - first one on the list and usually via
Zone 1 - and then will list alternatives.

You must ONLY touch your Oyster Card / Contactless Card at the points
specified by TfL to benefit from a lower fare.


Why? What harm would additional pink touches do?

In this case that is "in" at Worcester Park, "pink" at Canada Water
and "out" at Canary Wharf LU station.

The pink validators are at Overground platform level near the
escalators down to the Jubilee Line.
