Oyster at Finsbury Park

You can travel anywhere you like on the system with a one-zone travelcard, and then when you get to your destination, if the gates are active, you swipe and have your extension deducted... if the gates are inactive, you just walk out and you have no way of getting caught. If any RCI stops you en route out of your travelcard zone, you just say you are going to swipe for the extension at your journey's end. Is it possible for an inspector to check tickets further from the platform than the validator? For example, you have a zone 3 Travelcard, go to Finsbury Park, pass the validator, then inspector gets you for not validating? |

If you mean, do RCIs only operate on the paid-side, then the answer is no. -- Kat "bears, said the taxi driver, is sixpence extra, sticky bears is ninepence" |
