Coming from the south a London Terminals ticket is in fact valid as
far as City Thameslink.


.... but City Thameslink is closed on Sundays.

At Blackfriars, despite it being gated, there should be Oyster readers
somewhere on the platform


I don't think there are - certainly not near enough for you to be able to
re-board the same train (that's what I meant by a *sensible* way to validate
the Oyster card ...). If anyone knows please shout! If only they had
validators on the trains ...

Don't go to Victoria as the Victoria line is closed all day sunday.


Thanks for that!

The number 4 bus goes from outside City Thameslink up to the Angel,
Islington - see this PDF of the Ludgate Circus bus spider map:

That's an option - a short walk from Blackfriars ...

Otherwise you should be able to buy an extension ticket at Brighton so
you could stay on the Thameslink train and transfer to the Northern
line at KX.

I'll be investigating this further ...

Thanks
