    London Thameslink terminals and breaking journeys

    Maybe I'm being a bit dim or missing something but... If I buy an off-peak day return from south of London to "London Thameslink", the ticket is marked as "Break of journey allowed". Does that mean that I can break my journey at e.g. London Bridge then continue onwards to Farringdon? NRE at...

    Multiple tickets on a route? (St Albans-Farringdon)

    Hullo all, Having recently found out that since for my situation it actually works out cheaper to buy singles than season tickets (due to my Disabled railcard), I've been buying them. So I was idly playing with brfares.com & found an even cheaper fare that I wasn't sure would be allowable so I...

    Can Season tickets be issued to/from Boundary Zone 6?

    I am having trouble trying to find out how much a monthly season ticket would cost me between London and St Albans, if I have a Disabled Freedom Pass and a Disabled Persons Railcard (which I understand can't be used for season passes anyway) I tried asking the ticket office at St Albans...
