I'm currently on a EMT service to St Pancras. I have a season + Luton airport parkway tovlondin Thameslink anytime day return.

My final destination is London Bridge, normally I could change to Thameslink at St Pancras. Can I use the underground on my national rail ticket as there are no TL trains to London Bridge. The Thameslink site implies that NR tickets cannot be used on the underground at st pancras or Farringdon.

Unless the ticket is routed "Thameslink only" (or "FCC only", depending on when it was purchased) or "Not Underground", it can be used on LU between West Hampstead/Kentish Town and King's Cross St. Pancras/Farringdon/Blackfriars/London Bridge/Elephant & Castle anyway, as it's an interavailable route.

Where do you work at London Bridge? If you exit the newish south entrance of Blackfriars its less than 10 mins walk to the station. If you are to the west of Borough high St then even less.

Only if you are on roller skates. It takes me 15 minutes, and nobody overtakes me...

Are tickets to London Thameslink (for travel to London Bridge from the north) allowed to be used on TfL services to the stations listed above?
