It's been rumoured for a while, and is I suppose the inevitable
consequence of the move to largely smartcard and machine-bought
tickets.

A lot of passengers still queue up at the ticket windows at the moment,
especially at major rail terminals, so there's going to be quite a bit of
user education to do (and tourists/infrequent visitors are the least
likely to be in possession of the relevant smartcards).

and how am I going to get the journey history from my Oyster to use as a
receipt?

:-(

Print it off from the journey history section of the (yet to be
unleashed) TfL online account associated with your contactless payment
card (the CPC equivalent of the Oyster online account).

And no, I don't know how that's going to be implemented, but that's part
of TfL's CPC plan.

I don't have a contactless bank card, the bank have yet to send me one

From a ticket machine

can you do this?

I've not actually looked since I started to need a receipt

or online.

AIUI only available with registered cards, which mine is not (and now never
will be)

But the weekend running is more unexpected. And, as the
article also mentions, that means some stations will need to be manned
24 hours a day over the weekend. Will the unions tolerate
single-manned stations at 3am in south or east London?

I don't see that south or east London are any different in this regard
from north or west London.

Every ticket office on the Tube is to shut by 2015 under plans that
will see 750 jobs cut.

Transport for London (TfL) said staff will be moved from behind
ticket office windows to be in the station itself to help passengers.

The Tube will also run 24 hours a day on Fridays and Saturdays on
some lines.
[...]
TfL says six major central London stations will have special customer
points to help tourists and that every station will be staffed while
the tube is running.

Are they going to introduce Oyster history printing facilities at ticket
machines then? That can only be obtained from ticket offices now. If your
card is registered you can get it on the web but that is not the same as is
on the card as I discovered when my wife was diddled and isn't available at
all until the next day.

Which is another trick missed with Oyster - such services should have
been machine only from day one.

I agree. You can see the details on screen but not get a permanent record.
The ticket office printers also fade pretty quickly so are far from
permanent.

Will the machine printed ones last any longer?
