It is indeed "apparently simple" About two lines of code could apply
such a discount to a suitably registered contactless account.
You'd need a solid system in place to verify that the payment card
holder really did hold a Railcard.
Then you'd need a solid system in place for RPIs and the like to be
informed that they should also checking for a valid Railcard.
Bit more than two lines of code there.
Actually, all that stuff is already needed for Oyster loaded with a
Railcard.
One significant difference is that the Railcard discount flag is
actually stored on the Oyster card - that's not possible with CPCs (just
possibly might be with a future generation of them).
RPIs do ask to see associated Railcards.
