Can you explain what is special about your ticket that makes this not
true?

For a Thameslink journey to, or through, Farringdon, Barbican and
Moorgate your ticket MUST have Underground Zone 1 validity. A ticket to
London Terminals isn't valid beyond City Thameslink from the South and
St Pancras/Kings Cross Thameslink from the North.

I can't explain the logic behind this, but it's probably due to the
"special" status of the former "Widened Lines" as part of the Met.

However the Conditions of Carriage say that through trains are always valid
routes. This would mean that for example on an Any Permitted East Croydon -
London Terminals ticket you could travel to KX Thameslink providing you used
a through train.
