You cannot register Gold Cards or Network Cards onto Oyster cards

And this, to my mind, is the biggest fudge of the whole lot. The
whole point of the Gold Card is that it recognises the loyalty of
those who put up ~2 grand in advance, and the Oyster card must 'know'
it holds an annual season. How hard would it be for said annual
season to trigger an automatic 'Railcard' flag, thus allowing Gold
Card holders the same reduced cap as (e.g.) YP card holders?

As discussed here, the cheapest Gold card is less than £150 (forget
whether it is between Ryde - Ryde Pierhead or Exeter/other Exeter).

And Gold (and Network) card discounts only kick in after 10:00 M-F so
don't match the 9:30 off-peak start of Railcards and NR/Tfl.

Allow registration for W/E only ?
