Much earlier, I wrote:


"First of all I should point out to you that you cannot be charged
with fare evasion if you have a valid ticket."


Is this roundabout admission that you made a false accusation of fare-
evasion against me and anyone else who has traveled on the DLR with a
valid travelcard without touching in?


Or do you personally still think it's fare-evasion, because of your
obsession with some unworkable ToCs?


As I said earlier:
"I know that you will reply again saying that the Conditions of
Carriage are nonsensical and that everyone is happy, but those are
things for you to take up with Tfl's legal department. All I have done
is point out the relevant section and given at least one good reason
why that section would be there."

When I pointed out the condition that one has to touch in wherever
there is a validator I didn't think it would get quite the hysterical
response that it has. Why is an act that takes less than a second
causing seismic reactions?
Clearly, there is me and the Conditions of Carriage on one side, and
three or four people in this newsgroup on the other.
And since my argument is and always has been the Conditions of
Carriage, all I would be doing is repeating myself - repeating section
6.6.1 (Season tickets) - ad nauseam.
So in future, address your complaints to Tfl's legal department.


They didn't accuse me of fare-evasion. You did.

The "hysterical response" was entirely due to your unfounded
allegation. Not only can you not back up your allegation, you can't
even come up with a scenario in which it is possible.

In the meantime, why don't you, having spent some time researching
into nonsensical CoCs, talk to TfL yourself about getting them fixed,
instead of making preposterous allegations against anyone who doesn't
comply with them?

Having admittedly bored everyone else by contributing to this idiotic
exchange, I am not going to contribute any more.
