Maybe the reason for not having a discount on Network Railcards or
Annual Oystercards is the lack of a photocard?

With a Network railcard it'll be the combination of the fact that the
weekday minimum fare is higher than the highest TfL single fare, or higher
than the most expensive off peak travelcard fare, and it isn't available
until after 10am.

Could work at weekends though...

Other options may include:
* Commercially they don't need to do this
* Commerically they don't want to do this
* Possible confusion regarding accompanying passengers
* Interface between routes covered by a non-Oyster gold card and the
routes over which the holder is using PAYG

Has anyone contacted TfL regarding this issue?
