My understanding is that Oyster Cards are valid on vanishingly few
National Rail routes, and therefore the question is largely moot.
Whether this is cause or effect, I don't know. This "restriction" on the
Oyster is one of the most confusing things for people used to buying a
paper Travelcard.

It *will* be valid if it's got a period Travelcard on it, and there
must be a few hundred thousand of those out there on Oyster at least.
I'm not sure what restriction you mean...

And how many times will NR do an on-board ticket inspection during the
limited travel time one of their trains is inside the Tfl zones, anyway?

Ah... as you said, moot!
