Oyster PAYG Island Gardens via Bank to Liverpool Street

Which suggests that you *do* need to touch out at the DLR concourse, though it isn't clear whether you still need to do it if you intend to exit Bank station though the ticket gates immediately afterwards (obviously you need to do it if you are using the lift to King William Street). If the question is really "did the passenger go through zone 1" then the same could be the case for other journeys where the user may have gone on Silverlink: 1. Highbury & Islington to Canary Wharf (DLR): Passenger may have changed at Stratford or may have gone down to Moorgate on FirstCapitalConnect then Northern Line to bank then DLR (from experience this is the quicker route). 2. West Brompton to Stratford (not Jubilee). Could go via Silverlink all the way changing at Willesden Junction or could take District Line changing at Mile End. Oyster PAYG is not valid on the Silverlink routes in your examples even though it is "technically" possible to touch-in/out correctly on the journeys. But I have noticed another interesting thing about the via-or-not-via zone 1 question. If I travel from Tottenham Hale to Canada Water by tube, it charges zone 3-1. Okay. But if I continue to Canary Wharf I will pay less because it then charges a zone 3-2 only. Then one wonder how it would be possible to touch in on the tube network at T. Hale and out at Canary Wharf without going through zone 1... Okay, I can (and most times do) take the 'one' to Stratford and then DLR from there, PAYG is valid on that route too, but in that case I have found out that I have to validate at Stratford too because otherwise the DLR validator at CW tell me it is an entry when I exit there so I don't think that is the possible not-via-zone-1 route they are thinking about here. -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |
