Average of £1.80 sits on each idle card.

That's the whole point, isn't it?

But the figure for the nominal value of remaining periods on seasons
would no doubt be a lot more.

But these are cards that haven't been used for at least a year.
Presumably they are mostly tourists or Londoners who have mislaid
unregistered cards.

Or people like me who live outside London and visit now and again, and who
have several cards so that I can travel with family members or lend the
cards to others. I have one card that may not have been used for a year or
two.

Yes, same here, I have 2 registered cards and only travel to London every
second year.
