Moved to look up how TfL» (Transport for London - about) handles edge cases, I found this from 2017 (mention FOI▸ (Freedom of Information))

https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-1798-1718

The FOI return has info on the grace periods for touch in / out allowed at the start / end of peak segments. How do the national rail gatelines handle the boundaries of peak travel times, does anyone know? This is presumably going to be further complicated by easements on individual journeys though.

Nope. Shortened link doesn't work either.

I have mentioned FOI▸ (Freedom of Information) before Mark's URL because the abbreciations system has "got at it".  The original link probably worked initially for those of you with "expand off" selected.
