Dont get me started on Farringdon.. Cant buy tickets to it from Bookham.
'Not allowed' But you can from Effingham and Leatherhead - the stations
one before and one after bookham. Can buy London Terminals which doesnt
work - penalty fare. Can't touch in at Wimbledon then out at Farringdon
and travel by FCC, Cant travel from Blackfriars to Farringson on PAYG...

Bizarrely you *can* travel past Farringon to St Pancras Int on a London
Terminals Ticket. You just cant get out at Farringdon.

Its beyond me.


Blackfriars to Farringdon is ok for PAYG, and has been for quite a while.

However a ticket to 'London Terminals' shouldn't work at St Pancras Int from
the south - although that's not to say a mag stripe ticket might not work
there incorrectly if its been wrongly programmed.

There's a whole load of complicated rules about the Thameslink route and
London Terminals in the National Fares Manual, unfortunately it isn't
available on the web at the moment.
