I don't see why not. Just search on National Rail Enquiries for a return ticket between Sawbridgeworth and Hatfield, via Liverpool Street, and it gives several options via King's Cross and Liverpool Street. I don't see any reason why you couldn't start or finish your transfer at Tottenham...

Yes, I guess they might have let me in at Tower Hill, although I doubt that the ticket would have been technically valid to start the cross-London journey there as it wouldn't be appropriate to the route. Of course, they would have no easy way of telling whether I had in fact started my transfer...

Thank you for that. I wonder if there is any LU manual reflecting the info on the National Rail website. I realise that Fenchurch Street is not relevant to a Dartford ticket, but I mentioned it as I was just thinking through why Bank would be on the interchange list if it is not a national...

In the end, I decided to commence my cross-London transfer at Bank, but I was refused access. Foolishly (in hindsight) I presented my ticket at the manned gate (thought it would be easier and quicker with young children in tow) rather than putting it in the barriers, and I was told that the...

I agree with that. If arriving at Euston, then the cross-London transfer can start at Euston or Euston Square and continue to Marylebone by any appropriate route. If going from Euston Square, it would probably be easier just to walk the last section (about 1/4 mile) from Baker Street to...

Thank you all, very helpful. So it sounds like Dartford through to Ely via Woolwich Arsenal DLR then Tower Hill is permitted, but that starting short at Tower Hill is not permitted -- even though the ticket may be accepted at the gates or by staff at Tower Hill due to it being an...

Yes, I thought I might hit up against that problem, if it's seen as starting short on the transfer. Although I can see that DLR might not work for a Dartford to London ticket, surely it's permissible for a Dartford through (and beyond) London ticket? It's no different, is it, than (say on a...

I've got return tickets on Thameslink Great Northern from the Ely direction, via Cambridge, to Dartford. On the return leg, would it be possible and permissible to start my cross-London transfer at Tower Hill? It's listed on the National Rail website as one of the cross-London transfer...

Thank you for the replies, very helpful. Is circle line really a suitable route from King's Cross to Charing Cross? Firstly, Charing Cross isn't on the circle line (I assume Embankment is nearby?) and the obvious place to change (if using the circle line at all) is Baker Street. Also, taking...

If I am transferring across London on a ticket with a dagger symbol, I know that I can break my journey and leave the Underground (but not get back on) at an intermediate station. However, what is the definition of an intermediate station? Between any two London termini, there are often...

Thanks again for the advice and, yorkie, for the link. I bought King's Lynn to Swanley off-peak return, travelled short via King's Cross to St James's Park, then started my return journey from Victoria, via Tottenham Hale. I took the circle line to St James's Park, as I assumed that I could...

Thank you, not sure how I missed that option. I've used a Dartford ticket before, on an off-peak return (travelling back on a different day). I think that I'd dismissed Dartford as an option before when I was just going to King's Cross (no onward travel by underground), as the ticket price...

Thank you. Not sure whether St James Park qualifies as 'en route' from King's Cross to Victoria, although I guess that it is 'en route' from Liverpool Street to Victoria. Does this make a difference? National Rail Enquiries says you can break at an 'intermediate' station. Or is it just OK...

I'm travelling King's Lynn to London tomorrow, my destination is near Victoria and St James's Park. It's for an afternoon meeting, so I can travel off peak (arriving early afternoon, leaving early evening). I have no railcard and I'm looking for the cheapest fare -- I don't mind if it's a...
