The all in one student Oyster card is a new one on me! The freedom passes

Farringdon Tickets

Could it be they didn't sell a boundary ticket but a ticket from that

You can but really only where they have the readers. They are discouraged
at other stations. Also when it comes to pre-pay National rail aren't set

In theory the gates should not be switched off (powered down). If it is
necessary to leave the gates unmanned, the gates can be opened but the
readers on the gates still function.

LUL are being a little kind right now and unstarted or uncompleted journeys
are being charged at the single zone fare (£1.60 or £1.00).

Oyster card slot numbers

Oyster cards have:

3 Ticket slots (TKT)
3 Pre-pay slots (PPY)

A continuation exit is where someone swipes their Oyster card at an
intermediate stop on their journey but in fact is not exiting at that
