I thought National Rail terms and conditions on Saver tickets
allowed a break of journey on the return journey.

How come LUL don't appear to agree that where the saver is to
Underground Zones 1 and 2, issued by One at Cambridge? WAGN
staff I checked with confirmed my recollection of the rules.

From the 'Conditions of Carriage' (1.C.15).

"Please note that a ticket which entitles you to travel on the
London Underground does not entitle you to break and resume your
journey at any of its stations unless it is a season ticket or a
Travelcard."

Oh sh*t!

:-)

I only became aware of it because I was using a tube between
Farringdon and Liverpool Street and decided to hop off at Moorgate to
pop into M&S. As Moorgate is extremely close to Liverpool Street I
had no intention of resuming my journey on the tube. My gate pass
would not operate the exit gates at Moorgate. Fair enough I suppose
though I can't see what there would be to lose by it allowing me to
exit but not to enter again.

I've had that trouble at Goodge Street once. I went back to Euston and
exited there. Your Moorgate problem sounds odd as it is a NR station,
though. My experience suggests LU doesn't insist on you exiting at the
right NR station for your journey.
