Default National Rail season tickets to London terminals

My question is, if I buy the £760 ticket, does it only work from
Ladywell to London Bridge/Cannon Street/Waterloo East/Charing Cross,
or can I use it from any Zone 3 National Rail station to London
terminals (e.g. Crofton Park to Blackfriars)?


No, it's only valid on routes between the two stations indicated, the
same as an open single ticket. But due to the magic of zonal fares,
you should buy one from the furthest out station (ie Bellingham),
which is the same price but is valid via both Ladywell and Crofton
Park, and onwards to Blackfriars, Cannon Street, Victoria or Charing
Cross.

Also, on the return
journey, would you be able to use this ticket and get off at Lewisham,
one stop early, or not?


Yes - you can get on or off at any station, so if you bought a
Bellingham season and only ever used it for Ladywell-London, you'd be
absolutely fine. The only rule is the journeys you make must
correspond to a portion of one of the permitted routes between the
start and end points,.


Thanks for that, very good tip about Bellingham. I've still got four
months to run on my current Zone 1-3 so will keep an eye on how much I
use tube/bus and see if it's worth it.
