Well, another update. This afternoon a card reader at an underground station wouldn't read my Oyster because my contactless payment card was in close proximity. The LU operative said that soon (later this month) the system is being changed, and that the reader could take money from both my Oyster and my contactless payment card.
Either the LU man is wrong, or TfL have cocked up big time in designing a system that could take 2 payments for 1 ride!
