I was miffed at being asked to pay £2 a day extra towards London Transport without even setting foot in a tube train. I've got a funeral / memorial tomorrow for a dear friend in the city and will be travelling on a National Rail ticket. Could the group please tell me if this anomaly has been corrected? It appears that Faringdon is now being classed as both TFL and National Rail. I've printed out my national rail plan and will be ready for a fight / argument / stand off tomorrow unless I hear otherwise. I'll be asking specifically for a ticket to Faringdon tomorrow. The only National Rail tickets valid for entry/exit at Farringdon are those marked London Zone 1 or named as Farringdon. Tickets marked London Terminals are not permitted and you could also be subject to a penalty fare. Tickets marked with a + (cross london LU transfer) are valid through Farringdon but not to exit/enter the station. |

I shall do just that. What's the odds they will dick around tomorrow! |

Yes, the National Rail Conditions of Carriage allow you to do this (unless the conditions of the ticket say you can't, but this doesn't apply to any of the Gatwick to KXTL fares). I assume the (LU) staff at Farringdon are sufficiently well versed in the NRCoC to not give you any hassle. Well at Farringdon, there is now a sign saying you need a ticket to Farringdon and my specific ticket worked correctly. Much obliged for the advice. |
