When did this last change? The thing is, when i started being a student in
London, a few months ago, there was a big story in a student paper about
how our Great Helmsman, Mr Livingstone, had changed the rules in such a
way to make the LT card more use to people living in northeast London. Did
i imagine that?

The current list of interavailable routes (sourced from the September
issue of the National Rail Fares Manuals) is as follows:

+ Amersham–Marylebone
+ Finsbury Park–Kings Cross
+ Finsbury Park–Moorgate and intermediately
+ Liverpool Street–Seven Sisters/Tottenham Hale/Walthamstow Central (and
intermediately)
+ Gunnersbury–Richmond
+ Harrow & Wealdstone–Queens Park
+ Kentish Town–St Pancras/Kings Cross
Thameslink/Farringdon/Moorgate/Blackfriars/London Bridge/Elephant &
Castle
+ Kenton–Euston (but not joining or alighting at Kilburn High Road and
South Hampstead)
+ Stratford–Liverpool Street
+ Stratford–Custom House
+ Upminster–Fenchurch Street/Liverpool Street (but not joining or
alighting at Forest Gate & Maryland)

There seems to be some confusion between different sources about exactly what
routes are allowed.

National Fares Manual page L4 which you quote allows Liv St - SS/TH/WC and
all intermediate stations + H&W-QP and Kenton-Euston (which presumably is
intended to imply you can't use the non-stop trains from H&W - Euston).

Page K1.2 about the Youth LT card does not mention the Liverpool Street
routes at all and gives Kenton-Queens Park only.

Page K1.4 about the One Day LT card also does not mention Liv St routes but
gives Kenton-Euston.

Finally to complete the confusion
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/pdfdocs/fa...ts-may2003.pdf
lists Liv St - SS/TH/WC but NOT at intermediate stations and Kenton-Euston
