Default Chucked out at Wembley - Trade Descriptions Act

In article , Mmlabbd
writes
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


Perhaps he had only just found out. Had the train become defective? What
reason was stated? Was the train slated for a different destination?

and

2) Could I sue TFL for breach of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 which
"...legislates against misleading descriptions of all foods and
services."


No.

Since the London Underground is a service, I would like to know what
you all think.


It's better than some, worse than others. I feel it's getting better but
it has a long way to go - up or down!
