Thanks, Mizter T. I did find that list shortly after I posted, but I
wondered how well they enforced the "appropriate to the route" bit.

I kinda don't think it is enforced as such really, not in central London at
least - it'd be rather difficult to enforce anyway (unless cross-London
transfer tickets were encoded so that they could only be used between
certain stations dependent on the overall rail journey, but attempting to
implement such a thing would be so whole spectacularly complex that it just
wouldn't be worth it). Anyhow, whatever journey one makes, there's some sort
of agreement whereby 'National Rail' aka ATOC compensates LU for these
journeys.

I guessed I could certainly get off at Oxford Circus as that's my normal
route between Waterloo and KX.

You can of course get off a tube train and change to another line no
problem - the issue I was raising was whether one could get off early and
then exit the station (the NR website clearly says that's legit, whilst
others have questioned whether that advice is correct - but in a sense that
debate doesn't matter as in effect the very public statement on the NR
website trumps any rules in hidden rulebooks that there may be on this
matter!).

As it happens, Baker Street will be no
good whatsoever tomorrow as both the Jubilee and Circle lines are out
of action.

No problem - from Baker Street take the frequent 30 or 205 buses down
Marylebone Rd/ Euston Rd to St Pancras (or the 18 to Euston then a short
walk). Or if you want to do it by Tube, take the Bakerloo line to Oxford
Circus, then Victoria line to KXSP.
