That was a direct quote from the Oyster site, so...

Presumably they mean that if you pass through an LU gate line en route
to/from the DLR you should touch in/out, and use the validator at Bank
(if it's working) as that's within the Compulsory Ticket Area.


But you are in the middle of your journey - surely you don't need to
validate "during" a journey?

I have had to validated during a jounrey.
Example:
Barking to Snaresbrook via West Ham and Stratford
1 gateline to enter barking station
1 gateline to exit the Jubliee line at stratford and finally
1 gateline to exit snaresbrook station.

I could have gone via mile end but, i would have had to buy another
zone on my Travelcard.
