Default The lifting of travel / ticket restrictions this Xmas ?

What I am interested about is what the deal is if you were to travel
on say an FCC train from Peterborough (you could even have changed
there from an NXEC train from Grantham or Newark) to Finsbury Park and
then change - it would obviously not be legit for you to use the
Underground before 0930, but what about another FCC train in to
Moorgate? Or - perhaps a better example - what if you were to travel
down on an FCC stopper to Welwyn, change and then take another stopper
in to Alexandra Palace? In both cases you would be in 'Travelcard
territory' with a ticket that's not really valid until 0930. Unless of
course it would be legit as long as you stayed on FCC trains - or
perhaps it's simply more likely that this exemption only applies to
journeys in to London on NXEC trains, and not FCC trains, from those
three start points (Peterborough, Grantham, Newark).


You've got to assume the relaxation applies all the way to London
Terminals, and that gets FCC to KX and Moorgate and the Victoria and
Piccadilly Lines from Finsbury Park to KX, and the Northern Line and
H&C/Circle/Met to Old Street and Moorgate due to interavailability
rules. Of course this also assumes the relaxation is for the ticket
type in general and not just for NXEC services.
