London Terminals and Thameslink
(3) When travelling from the north of the Thameslink route (say
Cricklewood) into central London, are tickets issued to 'London
Terminals' or to specific named stations (e.g. Kings Cross Thameslink /
City Thameslink)?
To the specific named station once north of Kings Cross Thameslink.
I think there's a bit of confusion here - for this third query I was
wondering what happens when travelling *from* north London / north of
London to central London - .e.g. for a Cricklewood to KX Thameslink
journey would the ticket issued be to the destination 'London
Terminals'.
Presumably if the journey was Cricklewood to Farringdon or City
Thameslink the ticket would be issued to U1 - I wonder if this would
also be the case if their destination was Blackfriars or Elephant &
Castle?
From stations north of London on the Thameslink route,
tickets are issued to 'London Terminals' for St. Pancras and Kings Cross
Thameslink
and to 'London Thameslink' for Farringdon, Barbican, Moorgate, City
Thameslink, Blackfriars and London Bridge.
'London Thameslink' tickets are for Thameslink (FCC) only and not valid on
the tube.
For destinations in zone 1, tickets are issued to U12 to allow interchange
at West Hampstead.
Note that from Bedford at least, an all day travelcard is cheaper than a
standard return to Zone 1, so will be issued if anyone asks for a return to
a Zone 1 destination.
