I was travelling between Dagenham Dock and West Croydon, changing at Barking to the Hammersmith & City line and then changing to Thameslink at Farringdon, and changing again at Norwood Junction. There was a ticket check between London Bridge and Norwood Junction and I was issued with a Penalty Fare, with the inspector saying I should have touched in and out at Farringdon.
It is my understanding that the lower fare of £2.80 (peak) is valid via Farringdon so I appealed, but it was rejected, because "the Oyster card had not been validated at Farringdon prior to continuing your journey"
I touched out at the end of the journey and was charged the £2.80 fare.
Was I in the wrong? I intend to re-appeal if not.
