I can slightly understand that in a case where someone simply stayed
in the system for longer than the journey should have taken and could
be assumed to have gone beyond the capping zones, had lunch in a place
with an ungated station, then gone back into the capping zones again
(although it's a bit much to be trapped in some kind of delay and then
get fined for it as well).

But in the case described in this thread, the card had been touched at
a number of places within time limits that would have made such a
suspicion impossible. So, as long as someone doesn't disappear
mysteriously, but continues touching in and out within their capping
zones (at "continuation" places like Bow and Canary Wharf etc), what
is the justification for assuming that they could have gone outside of
the zones and punishing them accordingly?


A coding error.
