I was initially confused by this last week when using planners to get from
Brighton to Grantham. It would seem illogcal to me to go any other way than
via FCC to St P.
DB Hafas is very confused indeed and even takes you off a FCC train that
goes to St P at London Bridge and puts you onto the Tube.


That's what I'd do, tube from LB to KX then NXEC. Depending on the
ultimate destination I might also take the tube all the way to Finsbury
Park and change there (but not for Grantham).

If you're going for the tube option, forget London Bridge and head to
Victoria instead - it's just 10 minutes journey time on the Victoria
line from there to KXSP or Finsbury Park, or indeed Tottenham Hale or
Seven Sisters as appropriate (all are valid for cross London transfer
with a National Rail Maltese cross ticket).

If I was heading for KXSP and was already on an FCC Thameslink train
at London Bridge I'd stay on it, unless I knew there was trouble
ahead. However if I was arriving at LB not on a Thameslink train I'd
take the tube.
