of cards from Croydon, Lewisham and Greenwich. I don't know if any were
actually issued though.

yes, they look familiar, I saw them (or at least one of them) in a
document I found on a council website some time ago - I've a vague
recollection it was a trial of a multi-purpose card that all London
Boroughs might have then gone on to adopt (all tied in to wider notions
about 'e-strategies' for local government I think). I definitely did ask

about it in a library in one of those boroughs (the main library in
Croydon, or Lewisham - I can't recall), but got some vague answer about
how they weren't issuing them at that time.


There's nothing relevant under "Oyster" on either of the Lewisham or
Croydon council websites. So doesn't seem to be current.


No its not current - I came across a display for this card in mid 2008
in Croydon library and was told that they don't sell the mixed cards.
The display/counter has now gone.
