I have wondered about the railcard issue, being a user myself (but
usually only for journeys between London and the "outside" :-) ). With
the last fares change, through tickets from NR to Tube stations were
fully discounted (before, only the NR portion was discounted), and it
would be odd to abandon a discount again.

A Zones 1-6 ODTC, normally GBP6.00, is discounted to GBP4.80 using a Gold
Card. Presumably this applies to a ticket bought for a travelling companion,
or for a ticket bought by the holder of a Gold Card which is not a
Travelcard, e.g. one valid for a journey outside London, such as Newhaven
Harbour to Town. Does this apply to other railcards - obviously a Network
Card would come up against the GBP10 minimum, except at weekends? Apparently
there is no discount on a ODTC with validity less than all zones.

Indeed it is - or a YP Railcard.

I've always found this strange, as none of the PTEs offer railcard
discount on their all-modes travelcard tickets, and I wouldn't have
thought that TfL got any money from the issue of a YP card. I do
wonder if it's just an easier way of enforcing "student/young person's
discount" because the card already exists, so it's one less scheme for
them to administer?
