New evening ticket restrictions from King's Cross to Cambridge

Indeed, as there have never been time limits on use of travelcards (once
they start to be valid after the morning peak).

But this brings in some other silly anomalies, e.g. on a slow train you
could use a 1-day travelcard bought, say, from Luton quite validly on
the crowded section from King's Cross to Elstree, but not on the section
from Elstree to Luton, where the passenger loadings will be
significantly lower.

Yes they are valid on this section as the FCC leaflet states:

"The return portion of these tickets is restricted if you join a
northbound train within area B of the London Travelcard Area
on the route map overleaf, but is unrestricted if you join a
northbound train in area C or D."

Elstree is in Zone C.

Could be interesting to see how they can enforce these restrictions,
since a passenger holding a Travelcard may use the service until Elstree
without restriction and passengers joining from Cricklewood travelling
North can travel without restriction.
