It would certainly help me if tube stations had Oyster readers
whose sole function was to allow passengers to check the status of their
Oyster cards and collect any top-up.

Such readers are already attached to ticket machines at tube stations.

Unfortunately those machines do not let you pick up online top-ups.

Oh dear, that's a bit of an oversight!
