I've also noticed that the FCC ticket machines at SPILL have blank
circular plates - I presume that they will be converted to Oyster pads
in due course (so far I've yet to discover any Oyster-compatible
machines that were not built by Cubic).


You want non-Cubic ticket machines that do Oyster eh?!


Yes. To put it another way, I haven't discovered any FCC ticket machines
that are Oyster-compatible yet. This is not to say that I don't like
using Cubic machines with Oyster, but it is more likely that FCC will
stick with their own S&B machines than take Cubic machines.

There is also the possibility of ITSO rollout on the FCC network during
the 2010s...


London Overground has both Scheidt & Bachmann Ticket Xpress...

...and Shere Fast Ticket machines...

...which have both been adapted to to include an Oyster reader (can't
find any photos so perhaps I'll take some).

I don't really use the Overground so I wouldn't have noticed.
