Not according to FCC's online ticket site. A CDR from LTN to
Farringdon will cost £11, but a CDR from LTN to Kings Cross Thameslink
will cost £12! For some reason when I try City Thameslink, Blackfriars
or London Bridge, the site only quotes both 1-day Travelcard fares.


How very messed up.

Cheap Day Single fares seem to be different by direction... for example,
Luton to KXTL (using a Young Person's Railcard) is 7.85 but KXTL to
Luton is 8.20. CDR is 8.25. I got the same fares for Blackfriars and St
Pancras, but Farringdon was 8.20 to Luton and 7.20 from Luton (but it
gave me 8.25 again for the CDR).

Standard Day Singles were different by direction to and from West
Hampstead Thameslink, but not to any of the other stations I tried.

Maybe the planner is a bit confused...

I sent an email to FCC and they told me that the anomaly has been fixed.
From Monday a London Terminals ticket will be sold for the same price
as a London Thameslink ticket. Which means that I can travel to St
Pancras and back for £11 and not £12. Unless of course I bring my YPR
with me - then it would be £7.25. :-)
