Cross London tickets on the underground

I believe that a rail ticket with cross-London validity included (i.e. marked with the Maltese cross symbol) will only open gates at Underground/DLR stations that are in the cross-London station list, which is shown half-way down this page: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_...ng_london.html However it won't open any Zone 1 gate - though if you're in the system and want to get out, then I understand you'll be let out without any problems (in zone 1 at least), though the same ticket can't be used to get back into the Underground system (i.e. there's no Break of Journey allowed for the cross-London Underground leg of the journey). On Monday I am travelling from Tame Bridge to Brighton and back to Feltham. Cheapest way of doing this is a WSMR advance ticket from Tame Bridge to Marylebone and then a CDR Feltham to Brighton. Full marks to WSMR for selling single tickets for GBP13.40 with railcard on a train that arrives in London just before 0900! I have booked any permitted Feltham to Brighton tickets which have the cross london symbol on, will these allow a single journey from Marylebone to Victoria? Yes, I believe in practice it'd allow for that journey no problems - the LU gates will just see it as a cross-London transfer ticket, and Marylebone to Victoria is of course a legit cross-London transfer. Whether strictly speaking such usage is legit is another question - one could argue that it's not, as you wouldn't be using the Tube as part of a Feltham to Brighton journey - however I don't really think LU cares too much about that at all, it'd just be another cross-London journey in their eyes I reckon - and in practice the ticket would work the gates whilst a ticket inspector would just see the cross symbol on a valid ticket. |
