Default Future of CDRs and NR season tickets in TfL zones?

Indeed it is - or a YP Railcard.

I've always found this strange, as none of the PTEs offer railcard
discount on their all-modes travelcard tickets, and I wouldn't have
thought that TfL got any money from the issue of a YP card. I do
wonder if it's just an easier way of enforcing "student/young person's
discount" because the card already exists, so it's one less scheme for
them to administer?
