Nov 2012, John Williamson remarked:
Dropping you at any place other than a contractually agreed place is in
contravention of your contract, and if you insist on being dropped at a
place other than your destination, you are in breach of the conditions
of carriage which you agreed to when you bought the ticket,

Many tickets (and certainly the ones I was using) allow Break of
Journey. Why wouldn't that also apply to bustituted sections.

As for the contract, the ToC is likely to be in a position where it's
having to refund my fare because I'm more than $foo late getting to my
destination. They are more in breach than I am.

and if any problems (For example, someone misses an important
appointment that they would otherwise have attended) arise because of
this, you can be sued by the TOC for damages.

What if I'm the one late for an appointment, and the ToC can mitigate
their loss by dropping me off en-route?
