I believe Oyster cards are to be retired in due course

  It seems that you need some way for people without credit cards to pay and the OP is about TfL trying to get away from cash for paper tickets.

  That sounds like a bad idea, considering that children and tourists are very likely to not have a credit card (or at least not necessarily a compatible one).

    I think the tourists argument is rapidly fally, but not children (though they are available in the UK via providers like Go Henry). Credit/debit cards also won't solve the season-ticket issue.

  I'm not aware of any plans to do so, not least because while cards have overtaken Oyster for pay as you go, Oyster season tickets / travel cards still remains a very significant use case. As do free / discounted children Oyster cards. Neither has a credit/debit-card based viable solution at present that'd be tolerable.
