You are issued a paper record card. You do not have to carry or show
this
on demand, although some train company staff seem to think you do.

Presumably its quite useful to have a ticket if one end of your journey
has
NR gates
though, so it would be quite understandable for them to ask for it...

All NR gates in Zones 1-6 have Oyster readers.


Yes, but travelcard seasons on Oyster are also sold outside the zones, ITYF.
