Unresolved journey fare from Watford Junction now 5.50?

Just been putting my journey history into a spreadsheet to check it and
I've just noticed that the Entry charge at Watford Junction at peak time
is now 5.50 (on the 16th May it was 5.00 entry and on the 19th May it
was 5.50 Entry)

I used to find a lot of "missing" entries on my journey history - the
balance would be correct but there'd be either an entry or an exit
missing, or, indeed an entire journey missing - so you'd get something
like:

Watford Junction Exit 0.00 22.50
Euston Entry -5.00 12.00

Where the entire journey from Watford Junction to Euston was missing -
which could be spotted because the balance was 5.50 less than the cost
of the journeys.

This latest set of data I've only found one "missing" entry but, as it
was an exit at Euston where there would now be no adjusting charge, I
can't actually tell if this really is an unresolved journey or whether
it's just another missing entry.

Beat TfL at their own fraudulent game. When you touch in at watford
immediately touch out again. This will activate Oyster scam #1 - it'll
charge you a quid for the priviledge of going in out out of the
station. However , it is a completed journey which means at euston you
can breeze out without worrying about being stung by Osyter scam #2 -
the uncompleted journey ripoff when you next touch in.

I should add - without actually going back out through the gate. In
fact you can touch out on a no-exit gate reader and it'll still
subtract a quid and complete the journey on the card.
