A ticket from London Terminals is a ticket from KXTL (for northbound
journeys) or City Thameslink (for southbound journeys). If you want to
extend the journey to/from Farringdon, you have to buy a more
expensive ticket to permit the extra travel.


But a London Terminals ticket *is* valid from St Albans to Moorgate,
isn't it?

Nope. To be usable at Moorgate, it *MUST* be issued to London Thameslink
where possible (stations between West Hampstead Thameslink and Bedford).

Failing that, it has to be issued to Zone U1 (or the appropriate Zones
for a journey wholly within the Travelcard Area, which uses the
"Train-Tube" fares).

A Season Ticket would need to be issued either *specifically* to
Moorgate Underground *OR* to include Zone R12 as a minimum.

This applies for all journeys on the Thameslink route to/via Farringdon,
Barbican, Moorgate and Snow Hill Tunnel. Why, I'm not entirely sure.

Cheers,
