Oyster Card Users - info on incomplete journeys

Just a question about this... If I travel on the DLR to Heron Quays and get on the Jubilee there, do I have to touch out at Heron Quays? Yes. Well, I would do so. I'm almost certain that where a passenger uses an out-of-station interchange (i.e. one that requires exit from one station and subsequent entry to another) they should touch-in and touch-out everywhere as if they were completing two seperate journeys - but note it won't cost you any more. A combined journey DLR and Tube journey with an interchange between Canary Wharf Jubilee station and Canary Wharf DLR/ Heron Quays DLR would be counted and priced as a single journey on Oyster as long as the passenger completes the interchange within a reasonable time. I'm not sure what this time limit is, but it'll be generous enough not to worry about - definitely enough time to walk relatively slowly and buy a newspaper. Can touching out unnecessarily ever actually cost me out? AFAIA, no. Nor (again AFAIA) will it cause any problems if you touch-in a second time, say if you weren't sure if you're first attempt was successful. Plus you won't be penalised if you touch-in un-neccesarily on an Oyster reader on a platform if you've already gone through gates in that same station. (Touching out when using a tram could potentially cost you, but that's because trams are like buses - you only touch-in!) |
