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.

They claimed today the ticket only allows one tube journey, though the
barrier staff let me through anyway. The gate code was 51 (Already used
for 1 journey (single) or 2 journeys (return)) at entry and exit when I
resumed my journey.

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."

Colin - just admit it. Tfl and LUL know you hate them, and they hate
you in return. Get a car.

That's correct - you have never been able to break your journey on the
'tube' leg of a NR ticket, it's only available for one underground
trip.

And I think it says something to that effect on the back of
(all/most?) NR tickets.

Ha ha!

Though do bear in mind that car travel in London is not out of TfL's
reach, what with congestion charging, trunk routes and all traffic
lights in Greater London managed by TfL Street Management, red routes
administered by TfL and patrolled by TfL funded Met Police traffic
wardens, bus lane enforcement, the Woolwich ferry...

I have a car. It's unusable for journeys like the one I was making.

On the NR leg only.

LUL have never allowed break of journey.

You are entitled to one full journey on LUL on the outward and return
legs. The only way you could "break" a journey is at an out of station
interchange where the gates are configured to allow such a break but
with a time limit in place.

How so, about five or six times a year I travel from the Lake District
to Wandsworth (through Putney) then park up and use my Oyster, until I
leave the GLA again in my car. If I can do it, and I'm not informed
about London items because of my distance from the Capital, so can you.
Or is it just a whinge against big brother and someone finding out where
you've been, spending tax-payers money? Come clean now, what are you
hiding? You'll feel better when you've got it off your chest.
