I am not sure, at the time there were two or three validators which as far as I knew were both for entry and exit. I would be curious to replicate the situation but it's difficult now that barriers are at West Hampstead Thameslink.Agreed. Are you sure you definitely touched out at a validator set for exit?
If you touched at a validator set for entry then it would charge another max fare (although if you touched out again within 2 mins this would be cancelled).
If you touched at a barrier set for exit and it did not complete the journey, and the maximum journey time had not elapsed then it is theoretically possible that the machine at the tube station had somehow prevented the journey being completed. But it doesn't sound right, as in that does not seem correct. Not saying you are definitely mistaken but if there is a possibility you touched at an entry validator then that could explain it?
