So to be clear, I will need to ask for a Return ticket to Faringdon. I shall
do just that.

What's the odds they will dick around tomorrow!

I have bought return tickets from Gatwick Airport to Kings Cross
Thameslink. Can I use them to and from Farringdon instead?
Thanks,
Dominic

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.

The 'anomaly' will apparently be corrected in January - 'London
Terminals' from Thameslink stations will then take you anywhere from
Kings Cross to London Bridge/ Elephant & C.
