Bedford - London Thameslink, valid to Finsbury Park?

[hkstudent]

I have a friend having annual season ticket (paper) from Bedford to London Thameslink.

Is the ticket valid from London St Pancras to Finsbury Park?

No, it's not

By the same token if you have a season ticket from the Cambridge side you can't go to Kentish Town

Thanks mate

You should be able to buy a London Terminals to Finsbury Park ticket to make it valid though.

I just noticed a old post, dated 2017: https://www.railforums.co.uk/thread...er-available-route-for-current-ticket.142313/

London Thameslink for Bedford includes Moorgate.
Then, would "via Finsbury" park from London St. Pancras / Kings Cross to Moorgate would be permitted?

 

[Hadders]

Moorgate isn't permitted for a Bedford - London Thameslink ticket.

You are mixing up the inter-available routes between Finsbury Park and Kings Cross/Moorgate. The inter-availability can only be used with a ticket that has validity between FInsbury Park and Kings Cross. A ticket from Bedford to London does not have validity between Finsbury Park and Kings Cross so it isn't relevant.
