Southern's TVMs outside London also offer the ability to load single
tickets starting at other stations, including those in other smartcard
schemes. I managed to add a CDR from Staines to Datchet and a single
from Mansfield to Mansfield Woodhouse to my Southern Key card.

The latter is interesting, because I think it's the cheapest ticket
available on the EMT ITSO-TVM menus. I was wondering about using it
myself as a test.

(hmm, the prospect of a brand new ukr virtual meet beckons, for ITSO
equipped members only. That'll mess up the ticket buying stats!).

Whether these etickets would be accepted for travel is an interesting
question..

Only if you arrive at Mansfield on a flying pig, and can manage to touch
your "Southern the Key" on the "EMT-Stagecoach" validator without
dismounting.
