If you go to this page - a current page -
http://getoutmore.dlr.co.uk/carriage/index.asp
you can get the .pdf of the DLR's Cs of C; which reads exactly as it
did two years ago:


6.6.1. When you use Docklands Light Railway, London Underground and
National Rail services, you must touch your Oyster card on the card
reader at both the start and the end of your journey. If the ticket
gates at stations are open you must still touch your Oyster card on
the card reader.


That is what it says at the moment - does anyone have a link to a
more up-to-date version where the DLR is exempted? That would be
very useful.


I posted such a link this morning at 10:23. *It'shttp://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/conditions-of-carriage-08-01-0...
If you go towww.tfl.gov.ukand click on Tickets and then on a link on
the right-hand side "See Conditions of Carriage", the latest TfL C-o-C
are the first link, followed admittedly by the 2006 DLR C-o-C which the
TfL ones say that they supersede!

Clearly there is confusion on the TfL site about this. *I've flagged
this to them this evening.

Has anyone yet responded?
Presumably, in your world, the latest Cs-o-C say that you have to
touch in everywhere with whatever ticket UNLESS you are on the DLR,
where you only touch in if you have PAYG.
