A friend of mine uses pay-as-you-go Oyster and regularly takes the
Overground from Kentish Town to Stratford, and then continues by
Underground from Stratford to Gants Hill. She claims that, while making
the intercharge, she has to touch in at a red Oyster card reader in
Stratford or else she gets overcharged for her journey. Is this true?
If so, why? Why can't she just touch in at Kentish Town and touch out
at Gants Hill? There isn't some more expensive route between the two
stations that she has to prove she didn't take, is there?

Yes: Kentish Town - Bank - Gants Hill

Sorry, I meant Kentish Town West. There's no Overground station at Kentish
Town.

Regards,
Tristan
