I entered Sudbury hill on the pic line. I realised that there were
severe delays from the announcement. By that time I had already
touched in.
I touched out within 30 seconds of touching in and thought nothing of
it.
The next day £4.20 was taken from my card sudbury hill- sudbury hill.

This vindicates my decision not to touch out or touch back in in similar
circumstances yesterday. I just missed a train, with 10 minutes to wait
till the next one, so I came out again to make a phone call.

I explained what I was doing to the station supervisor.

But here's another question for the assembled wise ones. It would have
been useful to use the time topping up my PAYG, as I wasted time doing
this later. Does anyone know what happens if you attempt to top up an
Oyster Card while it's in touched-in state?
