Default Chucked out at Wembley - Trade Descriptions Act


"Mmlabbd" wrote in message
om...
So I was travelling on a Jubilee train the other day which was marked
for Stanmore. Then just outside Wembley Park the driver informed us
all that we were being chucked out at Wembley Park and not going onto
our stated destination...
Two questions...
1) Why tell us...Just, as we were getting to Wembley Park
and
2) Could I sue TFL for breach of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 which
"...legislates against misleading descriptions of all foods and
services."
Since the London Underground is a service, I would like to know what
you all think.


Did your ticket/contract state/guarantee a specific route and/or stipulate
no changes ? If so, I'm sure you have an excellent case (if you can do
anything about it before the van with the men in white coats arrives)
