Default When is a travelcard not a travelcard?

That isn't very different from the new situation with London Terminals
tickets at King's Cross platforms 9-11. The tickets are eaten if put in
the barrier but staff will open a gate for you if you ask.


Very much the same thing on a ticket from Luton to "London Thameslink"
which gets eaten at barriers at St.Pancras (upper level) if you are
silly enough to give it your ticket to chomp, even though the ticket is
valid onwards e.g. to London Bridge. Again if you can find a manned
barrier you can get through.
