Oyster Route Validators - compulsory to touch?

The sign at Wimbledon also seems to suggest that you must touch the pink validator if changing between tube and train, but as far as I can see almost no one ever does. The confusion isn't helped by the fact that there's yellow validators on the tube platforms, pink validators just beyond the platforms, yellow ones on the ticket gates at the top, and special tram ones on that platform - I think people have learnt to ignore them unless they have to open a gate. The situation has been improved by the acceptance of PAYG on NR. Previously, at Stratford you could ignore the pads at the end of the DLR and on the Central platforms and touch out at the barrier. But at Greenwich, if you didn't spot the validator halfway back down the DLR platform and headed for the exit, you'd find yourself not passing a barrier or validator. Now there is one at the main exit and also the DLR one is a bit better placed. |
