That's interesting. I regularly transfer CentralJubilee at Stratford. I have never touched in or out on the Central platform, but have to touch at the Jubilee barrier. This has never given a problem with my Oyster pre-pay in either direction. It wouldn't. You do not need to touch the Central line validators if changing from the Jubilee. So I wonder what happened to my name-sake? |

The fact that no exit was recorded at Leyton would suggest that the card was not read properly by the validator. |

But it opened the gates, and (when I checked the record later) had a completed journey from London Bridge to Stratford on it. Perhaps they changed the system at Stratford because people were facing this problem? It wasn't that long after the introduction of prepay that I had this experience. Robin |

I thought the whole point fo this story was it didn't open the gates at Leyton? |
