If it is true Thameslink only tickets are valid on Southern and Gatwick Express trains as well. Is there a case for a holders of Any Permitted season tickets to take a class action law suit? Because they have paid more than they should do?

Yes it is true.

I refer you to these posts:

This is a "Dedicated Fare", which is defined in the TSA as "a Fare which entitles the Purchaser to use the trains of a single Operator only".

The relevant operator, as listed in the TSA is: Govia Thameslink Railway Limited 07934306 3rd Floor 41-51 Grey Street , Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 6EE

I am not a legal expert but I'd expect you have a good case, yes.

However this debate has been done to death many times, so there is no point debating it further unless new information comes to light.

If you have an update with regards to any correspondence or legal action you are taking, then please do let us know.
