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.

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.

Helpful as ever, Paul!
I could not remember the location of the Canada Water pink validators.

One unhelpful thing, is that pink validator touches do not show on
Passenger Operated Machines. They do appear in online statements.
Colin Rosentiel was misinformed, when told printed statements can be
produced by POMs - even with staff intervention, unless the staff in
King's Cross are misinformed or undertrained.

I am puzzled as to why a pink validator touch is needed to select a
cheap fare between Worcester Park and Canary Wharf.
The obvious route via Waterloo NR and Waterloo LU would involve a touch
out and touch in and would incur a via zone 1 fare - if gates are
operational.
Can anybody suggest a via zone 1 journey, which would not involve gates?
