Even if that wasn't EMV, it's just a matter of time until someone
figures out how to do it.
In the mean time, it's so unlikely, especially if the objective is
stealing a few train tickets, that we can discount it.
Unlikely? It's a certainty. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has
already done so and just hasn't publicized that fact--for obvious
reasons.
It's not the kind of secret that would keep very well.
There are plenty of reasons for everyone (both the criminals and the
banks) to keep such a success very, very secret.
