Does anybody know what the law actually says about validating an oyster
card. I questioned a revenue inspector at Watford Junc tonight regarding the
lack of validators on platforms 5 & 6 at Wembley Central and their view was
that a passenger was expected to hunt high and low for a validator or buy a
ticket. Since Oyster is valid on the Southern trains from Wembley Central
can they simpley say that it is not valid if you don't swipe in and it is
the passengers fault if TfL haven't privided readers on platforms 5 & 6.
Should a passnger really be expected to search the building site that is
Wembley Central then swipe in the entrance gate to the Bakerloo platform.
I would have thought at the very least TfL are in breach of ASA rules in
saying that Oyster was available when clearly it isn't.
