After tomorrow the fares arguments become rather more academic,
or do they? Could one still change at Farringdon and use the Met
to reach Moorgate on such a ticket?

I believe so, Colin. I saw somewhere this week that FCC tickets will
be valid for travel on LUL between Farringdon and Moorgate for the
next two years.

Correct - the FCC leaflet that I collected at Moorgate yesterday said
that. I believe the ticket validity point is a condition of the
closure and that the revenue loss is covered by the DfT.

Yes, but that refers to tickets from the northern Thameslink route and
doesn't affect tickets from the GN line via Finsbury park to London
Terminals, which have long been valid to Moorgate (via FCC or LUL) and
will remain so.

National Express at Cambridge clearly understand that so why don't the FCC
or National Rail web sites tell the same story?
