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

In the mirror image of the OPs question, my London Freedom pass worked
perfectly well on the card readers on Brighton buses last Saturday.
Not sure how all the reconciliation between LAs works.


I don't think there is any reconciliation (yet), as far as previous
discussions have determined. The presumption is that for a return journey
between areas one local authority will be hit for the agreed flat fare for
each direction.

Hence there are supposed to be significant problems for local authorities in
popular seaside towns which just have to cope with however many bus pass
wielding visitors turn up from other districts.
