Right - today, I was on my way to Olympia because I wanted to have a look around the station, seeing as I've never been there before.
First of all, I got a travelcard from Brentwood, in case of any cockups with the Oyster ( seeing as it's the first time I've used it).
Anyway - I touched in a Stratford, changed at Bank onto the District at Monument, went to Earl's Court, changed to an Olympia train.
When I got out at Olympia, I touched out, because I thought I'd take a couple of photos. Turns out my camera's battery was dead (
), so, I wait till the train is about to depart, so I can touch in again (or so I thought).
** EXIT ** Flashes up on the display (again)
So, what should I have done to have been allowed to touch back in again? Isn't there a specified time that passes before you're allowed to touch back in again?
Anyway - suffice to say, because I had a travelcard with me, I hopped on the next train anyway, because I was covered for the journey, but my question is, what should I have done if I simply had my oystercard with me?
