These rules can be pretty stupid sometimes! (I wonder why they don't
include a clause allowing appropriate diversionary routes for
engineering works, particular in London - or just inform LU as
appropriate).


Even better, '+' should be worth a trip between the appropriate National
Rail stations by any reasonable combination of LT services, be they tube
trains, buses or trams. This would probably be impossible with the current
ticket barriers, though - TfL would need to move to the transfer-style
system used in the rest of the civilised world.
