Default Do out-of-London bus passes work on London bus touch-pads?

OTOH I believe London Freedom passes were replaced and are both Oyster
and ITSO compliant so they can be used elsewhere in England where

if?

the bus readers are already ITSO standard...

This ITSO newsletter makes it sound very much like work in progress:

For example, it sounds like Leicester is already ITSO compliant, whereas
Nottingham has just received some funding to convert to an ITSO scheme
(a symptom of being an early adopter of smart cards over ten years ago,
I suspect).
