Default Contactless on the tube and rail

But they ARE using contactless cards now. They add data to the back office
database to enable the card to be billed. Railcard status is just a bit of
status data to add in to the calculations. What's more complex?

Could they be looking to phase out the discount? I can't think of any
other joint-tariff system elsewhere that includes a discount for use of
a railcard-type product that has nothing to do with the operator of the
tariff system.
