There are a number of NR stations with no gates at all, so no oyster
readers there.


To be absolutely clear that should have read:

"All NR stations in Zones 1-6 that already had gates had oyster pads fitted"

I would say that the majority of NR stations outside zone 2 don't have
readers!

I am presuming this means those stations that are not double LUL/NR stations.
The stations at the end of the Bakerloo Line that I've visited recently have
readers mounted on the walls (not always in a convenient or noticeable place)
because as there are no gates there are no Oyster pads on the nonexistent
gates.

I see no reason why all the NR stations can't just have an Oyster pad on the
wall or a supporting column. NR is just afraid of innovation.
