Not Yet Freedom

My Freedom Pass was due for renewal on March 31, in fact I think that
date was
general, but when I went to a local post office where it was issued they
had a
sign saying that new passes had not yet arrived (or it may have said they
were
out of stock). I heard the young guy in front who had come to renew his
Mum's
pass being told that the old ones' life (the cards, that is) was being
extended
for another month. So I didn't bother waiting my turn.
I have found that bus drivers are recognising the old pass and at the
tube
station the staff will open the barrier for me if necessary, so no
problem
there, and only the slightest of delays, if any.
But I wonder how the people responsible for supplying the new passes (I
understand they are Oysters) managed to underestimate demand or failed to
meet
what was their own deadline?
I do know that there are a great many faulty ones around which when
placed on the readers appear to be completely, um, dead....

Kat Me, Ambivalent? Well, yes and no.
They don't work on national rail ticket readers at Victoria and East Croydon
due to a software upgrade being required. This should be in place by the
24th of April.
