Notwithstanding the above, on-train staff already have oyster card readers
in the SWT area, so it's not a new concept.

They have had them on WAGN for some time now, though to start with an
Oystercard with a photocard was regarded by some WAGN RPIs as valid
without checking with the reader, presumably on the basis that it
looked as if it ought to have a season ticket on it?

The silverstink's ticket-checking guard-fellas also have the readers, so if
they can manage it, it's clearly not a massive issue :-P
