"TfL is starting to issue inspectors with portable card readers which
will be able to read the card???s recent journey history."


Which contradicts what I thought I'd read about contactless card
technology and the ability to store recent transactions on the card


That could be a poor description of a device that reads the card's
number from the card and checks that it has been used to pay for a
fare on that bus.


That makes it sound like the device can read the paper printout too, so it
has something to compare the cards with



I assume that instead of or as well as the paper printout a digital copy can
be be sent to an inspector's portable device.
