Default Clapham Junction Pink Oyster Reader

The trouble is that most people haven't looked at the Single Fare Finder
before travelling. So the advice to touch every pink reader is a belts
and
braces approach which can't go wrong.


except that the average punter is not going to know where all of the pink
valuators are, and could easily not touch one because he didn't see it.


Which is actually a serious problem at Clapham Junction where there appear
to be pink readers by one set of steps for coming down from the bridge but
not the other. I'm not sure what the situation is for the steps up from the
tunnel.

Is this a vain attempt to have the reader try to only cover one platform or
is this just bad placing?
