I have to make a visit to FCC's central lost property office some time
soon. Will my Cambridge-London Terminals cheap day return be valid to
there (City Thameslink) via St Pancras International?
Alternatively, will it be valid to Farringdon to reduce my cycling
distance if I can't go all the way? I ask that because I am told by a
ticket holder that Cambridge-London Terminals seasons at least are valid
to Moorgate via Farringdon.

Yes they are, but you're not allowed to use Thameslink services, and
you're not allowed out at Farringdon. See page L5:

Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City and Northern Lines) but

If I had such a ticket I would certainly have tested the gates as you
had done out of pure curiosity! You can of course perform such tests
if you are also in possession of a Day Travelcard or even an LU single
printed ticket - indeed you could also do so if you were willing to
take the £4 unresolved journey 'penalty' (though technically given
that the National Rail ticket isn't valid at intermediate one would be
breaking the strict letter of the rules).

So can I get a priv ticket from Radlett to Farringdon, or would I need
to get out at St Pancras International, surrender the ticket, then use
the oyster for the rest of the journey?
