So in this situation Southern already has a duty to take the passengers
and then sort it out with FCC later.


However, SN don't run trains on the Thameslink route. They definitely do
*not* have a duty to carry passengers to Farringdon, especially a passenger
who ought to have purchased a ticket valid (and travelled) via Victoria in
the first place. SN have various discount offers (especially for tix
purchased online) which would make such a ticket considerably cheaper than
the route the OP chose.
