The validators are more for unusual situations where you're walking between two stops, or a smaller station is unmannedm, or a station is shared with non Underground trains. If you're in central London and just doing standard journeys I doubt you'll have any issues.

If you start mixing in buses or Tramlink into your journey, you need to touch your Oyster card at other phases of your journey too - which will increase the total cost.

Sep 8, 2013 at 18:34 comment added Gagravarr You'll need to touch a route validator if you take the "unusual" (aka cheaper) route so it knows you did (eg avoiding zone 1). Someone can hopefully point you at the full details from the TFL site
