I think that whilst "+" does mean valid for a cross-London transfer, it
*doesn't* mean that it is valid for any tube journey to get to King's
Cross. The fare for whereever you started to Putney will be different to
the fare to East Putney - the latter fare will be more expensive as it
will be the cost of a return to King's Cross plus a Zone 1&2 return on
the Underground (£4.40).

It's valid at the usual terminal stations and: Aldgate, Amersham,
Baker Street, Balham, Bank, Barking, Blackhorse Road, Canning Town,
Ealing Broadway, Edgware Road, Elephant and Castle, Embankment, Euston
Square, Farringdon, Finsbury Park, Greenwich, Highbury and Islington,
Kensington Olympia, Kentish Town, Lewisham, Limehouse, Moorgate, Old
Street, Queens Park, Richmond, Seven Sisters, Southwark, Stratford,
Tottenham Hale, Tower Hill, Upminster, Vauxhall, Walthamstow Central,
West Brompton, West Ham, West Hampstead and Wimbledon - *appropriate
to the route of the through rail journey being made* (info from the
National Fares Manual).

I think the cross-London transfer is a "courtesy" provided by London
Underground to the train operators; it's not priced the same as tube
journeys.

Not really a courtesy... just that the cost is worked out differently.
