Re the point about the combined Oyster-ITSO readers, you are of course totally right - they are hardly an impossibility, indeed to the contrary they are in essence a requirement for all SWT gatelines in London. I don't know anything about the TfL experiment in Harrow (or wherever) but it sounds interesting. It was in Brentford. see http://www.dft.gov.uk/pgr/scienceres...perability.pdf Appendix D on p 81 |
