My London Freedom Pass can be read on Arriva buses in Liverpool. How
does this work?

Perhaps it has both Oyster and ITSO functionality. I thought that was the
London plan when the national bus pass scheme was rolled out.

That explains it - my Freedom Pass has an "ITSO" logo on it.

I have noticed that it seems to take a couple of seconds for my pass
to be recognised by the Arriva bus card reader, whereas on London
buses it is virtually instantaneous. Possibly there is a compatibility
issue?

In my own limited experience (an ITSO pass for Derby station ticket
gates), that's how long ITSO takes anyway.
