Oh and what standards?

Read Uncle Roger (Ford) in Modern Railways, repeatedly, and learn.

Oyster is not ITSO-compliant and the DfT, who pay the TOC bills, won't
pay for non-ITSO-compliant kit. Figures.

Luckily, moves to make Oyster ITSO-compliant seem to be progressing at
last.

Since ITSO exists only as a specification, one wonders why it was not
drafted to be Oyster-compatible.
