The National Fares Manual is quite clear in stating that the National
Rail season tickets in question are *not* valid for entry/exit at
intermediate stations such as Farringdon.


See page L5 of the NFM section L (PDF):

"National Rail tickets which include validity ... between Finsbury
Park and London Terminals ... are also valid by LU/DLR services ...
between Kings Cross St Pancras Und and Moorgate (via Circle,
Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City and Northern Lines) but
intermediately at Old Street ONLY".


An All Line Rover includes " validity ... between Finsbury Park and
London Terminals ... ", so is that also valid between King's Cross St
Pancras and Moorgate? Apparently LUL staff have been told not to
accept them.



I had also pondered that when I was looking at that ticket inter-
availability list quite recently in relation to another thread. I
suppose one argument would be that the conditions of the All Line
Rover ticket - i.e. that it's not valid on LU services whatsoever -
trump the above instruction (and all the other similar examples on
that list).
