I don't get this. A contactless card will be linked to an account in the
TfL back office. So if a cardholder shows contactless card and railcard
to staff member why shouldn't they record the discount on the account
just as they do now sort of?

Two answers...

(1) It gives you something to remain annoyed about.

Not that silly! Not handling railcards limits the ability of contactless to
replace Oyster.

Not if you just get rid of the plethora of various railcard discounts
and charge everyone a flat fee for travel.

But then what would we have pointless discussions about in this
newsgroup? Cambridge probably...
