I used the DLR yesterday and seeing no barriers or anywhere where I

the DLR as I assume it’s not free?

And will I be fined?

If you touched out you will be charged the maximum fare for the
journey, £8.00. I can't imagine how you missed the Oyster card readers.

They are very easy to miss at several DLR stations, sometimes being
tucked away behind staircases where you don't actually walk past them.

Yes, I agree. Some give the impression of being almost deliberately hidden.
Sometimes I've had to go back and find one, when I realised I'd not touched
in or out.

Luckily, I no longer need to bother: I do touch in or out when I see one,
but don't worry if I miss it.
