Same here; it sometimes works, but often not. We've just gone over to
contactless cards, though we still retain the mag stripe as well, and
the cards also carry a barcode for the library system.

I didn't think my work access card had any RFID in it, but last week it
made the ticket machine say "Prestige not initialised", so I guess there
must be something in it. Not tried it WITH an Oyster yet, since I'm
forcibly back on paper tickets these days.
