A Southern ticket office told me that a route SOUTHERN ONLY ticket was
valid on Thameslink too. Use a heaping portion of salt.


Do they exist? I've seen route Thameslink (I guess FCC now), but not
route Southern. Something Gatwick related?

The thing that intrigued me was that this came from staff who usually
know what they are doing - the sort who happily sell tickets to London
International, or say "you don't want to do that, if you do this it will
be cheaper".
