Via Moorgate, there are Oyster/carnet validation posts
between the National Rail and Northern Lines, however these always
show closed on them.

As pre-pay hasn't offically started, the Oyster validators are closed.
Hopefully, we'll get a dignitry (Kat - can you ask GT? ;-)) down to tap them
with a plastic bottle of lemonade (the HMRI / PPP owners would have a fit if
we hit them with a bottle and if it was alcohol we'd all be instantly
sacked)

What happens if you travel by tube with out
validating your journey?

You get charged £3.20 and have to spend an hour listening to a lovely
message on the Oystercard help desk...
