Eroscard & Oystercard interference
 
Despite the claims on the Eroscard website, don't try having both
cards in the same wallet. You will just get error messages.

Do you mean you get error messages on the Eros terminals or on Oyster
readers or on both? The Eroscard website only claims that they've
tested it with Oyster and other cards on the Eros terminals.

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.
