I've never had an external reader fail to read the card first time, but on the few occasions I've been on a bus when it's out of use it has sometimes taken two or three attempts on the machine reader as it's more difficult to position the card. I have always thought the external readers are a good idea and in my experience work well. GNE never persists with things and gives up far too easily. Hence the farcical number of timetable changes we are getting at the moment; some routes are changing monthly!
