ITSO cards can now be read at London Underground TVMs.

The top of the screen lists the journey history. Underneath this is a section for products valid in the TfL area. The product details are undecoded so not very useful at present. The bottom states whether the card holds products valid outside the TfL area.

Hurrah! Next time I'm in London, the next week or two, I'll try out all
my half dozen or so ITSO cards and report back what happened.

I wonder what it shows for an out-of-London Bus Pass?

"And in the news today TfL reported that they had suffered extreme
queuing problems at Kings Cross after a Mr R Perry decided to check
3,351 ITSO cards on ticket machine readers at the station.
Unfortunately the machines all broke down as soon as an ITSO spec card
was placed on the reader and Mr Perry still had 3,308 cards to read
having put 43 ticket machines out of action at the station. London
Underground is investigating how Mr Perry managed to break so many
ticket machines in the space of 35 minutes."

:-)))))))))))))

And the good news is... the TfL machines read all the cards.

But only two of them had any information on them which it was prepared
to display:

Swift: Entry...
Location: Unknown Origin Date: Mon 18 Mar 2013 Time: 17:23

Your ITSO contains some products which can only be used outside the
Travelcard area. {But no details}.

Southern The Key:

Product: IDPass Passgr: AD Jrneys: 0 Entitlement: No-entitlement
Concession: Adult Valid to: 9 Nov 41

The latter produced "Error while reading the Oyster Card, please try
again..." on one type of GN machine on the KGX concourse, and was inert
on another.
