Needless to say I didn't touch in with my oystercard and sods law, there was a ticket inspector on the train. He got to me at Canning Town, I apologies profusely, touched out and back in at the gates at Canning town & still made the next Jubilee line train.
Thing is, I don't actually recall seeing the readers anywhere (I know they are there as I used them last month...). What's more, the DLR looks awfully like the sort of shuttle train you get at an airport, whilst with other airport trains like the HEX you can buy your ticket on board.
Is it just me, or should the station at LCY be positively screaming at you to make sure you touch in & out?
Exactly the sme thing happened to me.
