That too. I now have three smart-cards in my wallet, and at least one of
the proximity readers malfunctions unless their card is presented
individually. A second card doesn't care, and I've not tried the third
recently.
The guilty party is London Underground's Oyster, and I gather one reason
why it's not been rolled out to National Rail is that it doesn't meet
certain standards concerned with loading more than one "product" onto
it. In principle, a properly designed inter-operable implant could be
re-programmed when you move employer.

What law would it contravene?
