TfL says "The LT Card is not generally valid on National Rail services.";

For Student Cards, are they LT Cards or Travelcards?

At present, they're LT cards.

I believe in January that the 16-17 Card is becoming a travelcard and is
being decreased in price to child fares. I don't know whether the
Student Card would get decreased but if it is an LT card now will it
become a Travelcard in January?

Now *that* would be nice. Especially if the price went down too!

At present, they're LT cards.

Which leads to the question... why aren't they TfL cards?

Its for _historic_ reasons. In memory of LT.

But what about in the mid 80s, when it changed to LRT?

It's reverted to LT before, and will do again - it's only a matter of
time!
