It contains the same information as any Oyster card. So if necessary
your last (I believe) 63 days of travel can be produced as a printed

Does it also include an ITSO spec national bus pass nowadays - so that it
can be used on buses elsewhere in England?

Mine has worked in Cambridge but didn't on a Birmingham bus.

Yes - the (London) Freedom Pass design now matches the standard ENCTS
