Gatwick to St Pancras - Get off at Farringdon?

[dandodex]

Hello all,

I have an Anytime Day Single from Gatwick Airport to London St Pancras (not underground) for Monday November 17th which I'll be using around 11pm.

I was wondering if I can get off at Farringdon instead. I remember reading Farringdon is a bit of a special case (something about London Terminals?).

Thanks,

Dan

You can stop short at Farringdon on that ticket. The whole 'London Terminals' thing is a different matter.

Farringdon is indeed not a London Terminal and you cannot pass through Farringdon with a London Terminals ticket, unless it is routed PLUS HIGH SPEED.

However, as you ticket is to St Pancras specifically and not to the London Terminal group, this is irrelevant. Your ticket has no Break of Journey restrictions so you can get off at Farringdon

That's good. I fondly recall stopping short at Farringdon in the distant past and not being let out until I'd bought an underground ticket.

The usual problem as Farringdon is not stopping short but overriding - a London Terminals ticket from the North is only valid to St Pancras, from the South, only to Blackfriars.
