I think you are missing the situation where paper travelcards

are
combined with Oyster PAYG. Say for example that you have a

National Rail
season ticket from a station outside the zones that includes

Z2-6
travelcard. If you one day want to travel into zone 1 using LU

services
it is not practically possible to combine it with Oyster PAYG.
If the season is on Oyster [snip]
This type of season is not available on Oyster.


Cite please.


You seriously think that a passenger is currently able to go a

station
outside the Travelcard zones and get an Oyster Travelcard season to
London? Like I could go to Cambridge station and now buy an Oyster
season there?


Again you assert rather than cite. This time you seem to think that a
Travelcard plus NR point A to B must be issued at B and buying by post
or at A or at say C is impossible because you say so.

see below (and some joint NR/LU stations may be other examples).


When this NG discussed whether a photocard was needed with an

Oyster
this was, IIRC, one of the types discussed.


I think you are confused.


The thread was "Annual Oyster and Photocard" and on 18 Jan Paul
Corfield said

=As Travelcards with validity beyond the zones can be sold from LU
offices then these tickets most certainly are issued on Oyster. An
additional "record card" is produced that shows the NR validity outside

the zones to allow ticket inspection. =
