If you go to this page - a current page - http://getoutmore.dlr.co.uk/carriage/index.asp you can get the .pdf of the DLR's Cs of C; which reads exactly as it did two years ago: 6.6.1. When you use Docklands Light Railway, London Underground and National Rail services, you must touch your Oyster card on the card reader at both the start and the end of your journey. If the ticket gates at stations are open you must still touch your Oyster card on the card reader. That is what it says at the moment - does anyone have a link to a more up-to-date version where the DLR is exempted? That would be very useful. I posted such a link this morning at 10:23. It'shttp://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/conditions-of-carriage-08-01-0... If you go towww.tfl.gov.ukandclickon Tickets and then on a link on the right-hand side "See Conditions of Carriage", the latest TfL C-o-C are the first link, followed admittedly by the 2006 DLR C-o-C which the TfL ones say that they supersede! Clearly there is confusion on the TfL site about this. I've flagged this to them this evening. Has anyone yet responded? No, not yet. Presumably, in your world, the latest Cs-o-C say that you have to touch in everywhere with whatever ticket UNLESS you are on the DLR, where you only touch in if you have PAYG. Why don't you read the TfL C-O-C yourself? It omits the DLR from the services where you have to touch in when using a season ticket on Oyster, but (I've just noticed on re-reading it) it also fails to mention touching in on DLR when using PAYG! Whatever they say seems to be nonsense. If extending beyond zones on LU or DLR, you do have to touch in on the DLR with a travelcard. If not extending, and travelling where your travelcard is valid, you don't need to touch in at all on LU or NR or DLR or bendy buses except to get through barriers. As for "... touch in everywhere with whatever ticket UNLESS you are on the DLR ...", that's still rather difficult at places without Oyster pads. http://getoutmore.dlr.co.uk/pdf/cond...f_carriage.pdf "6.6. Using a season ticket on your Oyster card 6.6.1. When you use Docklands Light Railway, London Underground and National Rail services, you must touch your Oyster card on the card reader at both the start and the end of your journey. If the ticket gates at stations are open you must still touch your Oyster card on the card reader." That's "Using a season ticket on your Oyster card." Otherwise no one needs to touch in anywhere; he, when asked, just needs to say he has travelled from a DLR station. |
