Default Where do you "touch in" at DLR Blackwall?

Not necessarily; you don't actually have to touch in/out on DLR journeys
if you have a valid Travelcard (and your card is checked about 1 journey
in 3, I found, so you had *better* have a valid Travelcard), so if you
are going via Bank, you have an unresolved journey anyway. If you're
using pre-Pay, you do need to touch in/out, but not unless.
