Am up in Glasgow and am experimenting with the Scotrail iPhone app. I need
to travel on a Scotrail suburban service tomorrow so have purchased a
return on the app. The app allows me to register a Smartcard. Happily it
accepts my Glasgow subway card serial number. Having selected the option to
collect on my Smartcard I’m told I can load the ticket onto my Smartcard at
the station (via a reader or ticket machine) after three hours. Why not
instantly? Happily, I can also hold the Smartcard up to my phone and load
the ticket on straight away, which I have done. This latter option seems
quite handy as I don’t have to bother with picking up a paper ticket from a
machine and I don’t need to worry about my phone getting broken/flat
battery etc. I can check what is on the Smartcard with my phone.

Sounds like the ticket-selling platform is only uploading recent sales
to the collection-on-departure platform in batches (rather than in real
time). You'd have to ask the system architects why that decision was
made. Three hours probably reflects the worst-case delay between
batches. In this day and age there's no compelling reason I can think of
why they couldn't do at least hourly uploads.
