Can you explain what is special about your ticket that makes this not
true?

For a Thameslink journey to, or through, Farringdon, Barbican and
Moorgate your ticket MUST have Underground Zone 1 validity. A ticket
to London Terminals isn't valid beyond City Thameslink from the South
and St Pancras/Kings Cross Thameslink from the North.

I can't explain the logic behind this, but it's probably due to the
"special" status of the former "Widened Lines" as part of the Met.

However the Conditions of Carriage say that through trains are always
valid routes. This would mean that for example on an Any Permitted East
Croydon - London Terminals ticket you could travel to KX Thameslink
providing you used a through train.

Of course, this does not apply if you are in knip.
