But the fare increases won't affect journeys from those stations.

While it's a fair point that the train companies ought to start
accepting pre-pay, Mr Pope has ended up looking a bit clueless IMO.

In addition, I believe you cannot use a railcard (eg YP) on Oyster travel cards.

The only YP discount available on travelcards is a £6 Z1-6 off peak
reduced to £4.80. This ticket is not available on Oyster at either price.
The nearest match would be a Z1-6 capped fare of £5.70

Students however get 30% off all purchases of weekly or longer tickets
purchased on Oyster (but not paper).
