London Overground ticket machines & Oyster

Leaving the barriers open is fine for passengers who transfer from tube to replacement bus then back to tube, but what about passengers who end their journey at an intermediate station served by the bus? Unless it is made clear that they must touch out when they leave the tube (although other passengers are encouraged not to) they will get an unresolved journey. I'm a little unclear as to what exactly "G" experienced, but if one looks upthread one can read my account and in the case of what I experienced - a replacement bus service between Acton Town and Hammersmith - the gates were *not* open, so one had to touch-out/in as appropriate. However what had happened was that the Oyster system had been configured so as to mean that two legs of travel on the Tube were counted and charged as if they were just one through journey. |

(I got the stations correct though) Leaving the barriers open is fine for passengers who transfer from tube to replacement bus then back to tube, but what about passengers who end their journey at an intermediate station served by the bus? Two options - touch out before you get on the bus or go into the destination station. Neither are really acceptable though because you have to break normal routine to do it. |
