The "London Terminals" group of stations comprises:

Don't these refer to WAGN services only?

If a ticket has the "Maltese Cross" on it, indicating that it's valid
for a cross-London transfer by London Underground, DLR or Thameslink
services, the following stations can be used:

What about airline-sized through tickets? We had Cambridge-Jersey
through train (via Poole) ones which caused problems on the way back as
the jobsworth on the manual gate (we had too much luggage to use the
normal barriers) claimed it wasn't valid via the tube without a cross.
His ticket office colleague over-ruled him and the other three staff in
similar positions on outward and return journeys waved us through.

In retrospect shouldn't we have been issued with credit card sized gate
passes?
