I just got an Epsom + Z1-6 Travelcard on my Southern Key card. It seems
to operate gates as fast as Oyster, and the journey history shows up on
the web page within half an hour, rather than next day for Oyster.

Things seem to be looking up for ITSO. I think we might have been
expecting the extension to Travelcards to go live at the earliest *next*
week, after the Thameslink franchise changes hands and
contactless-on-the-tube goes public.

Meanwhile, I was in Edinburgh over the weekend and tried out my Scotrail
ITSO card on one of the TVMs. It took *ages* to read the card (two to
three seconds) but did then offer me a range of Scotrail destinations to
buy a walk-up day ticket to. I didn't actually try buying one.
