What's changing in 2018?
Oyster will become like Contactless so presumably they have to find a way
to
deal with railcard discounts in the back office system.


Why are they spending money on a fast pickup feature when the need for

one will be gone in a year's time?


My understanding is that current Oyster cards will be dealt with as now,
newly issued Oyster cards will be contactless style.


Err, Oyster have been contactless since they were introduced.
