I see. But that means that if you lose your Oyster card and report it
lost to invalidate it, anyone finding it can still use it on a bus, and
indefinitely I guess, unless the bus reader downloads numbers of lost or
stolen cards from time to time?


I imagine something like this must occur. But that's rather different
to asking a 'bus reader to contact Oyster Central in real time as each
passenger touches in.


I think it does happen, I was on a bus a couple of days ago when I heard
the driver telling a woman that her freedom pass had been cancelled and
he did not know why, but she should contact them to find out
