Great Northern / Thameslink / Southern Stations which convert Vouchers

So I've finally started claiming my delayed trains, and I thought that Thameslink station would have a window for me to exchange my rail travel voucher into cash. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Does anyone have the list of stations where the vouchers can be redeemed for cash? I know Kings Cross is one but I want to know if there's one closer to any station close to where I frequent which I can use instead, which would save me the pain of going to Kings Cross.

Any help on this is appreciated.

    I've no idea I'm afraid. It may help if you let us know your usual journey so others can suggest possible stations.

    Transferring the vouchers into cash, which I believe depends on operator own rules, or to use the voucher as part payment towards tickets?

    I have an Oyster Season Ticket which can't be paid for using the vouchers. The operator says that I can exchange it into cash at any of stations operated by the trains listed in the thread title.

    Unfortunately they don't list this. I'm based in the city, and between Holborn and Bank so any station near those I can generally go to easily.

    As mentioned in my opening post, City Thameslink Station isn't manned (i.e. no ticket offices) and so I'm unable to convert the vouchers to cash.

    That said, I think Finsbury park is my best bet, had to go the long way round from the overground to the underground and noticed that they do have ticket offices, so as long as it's not too busy I should be able to do get it done after work during one of those long waits for the overground trains.

    Thanks for all that replied.

    Really?? I can't see that.

    From the link I posted about City Thameslink:

    If you cannot find the City Thameslink ticket office, perhaps try Blackfriars:
