Default Megabus/trains getting off early??

In article
,
John B writes
That makes it clear that break of journey is prohibited, and therefore
NRCC paragraph 6 forbids ending the journey at an intermediate station
without paying an excess fare.


ITYM 16. That's interesting.


B) "[the right to stop short] may not apply to some types of tickets
for which a break of journey is prohibited, in which case the relevant
Train Companies will make this clear in their notices and other
publications."


Michael is reading too much into NCoC 16. It makes three separate
statements:
(1) There exist tickets that don't allow stopping short/starting late.
(2) All such tickets also prohibit Break of Journey.
(3) It will be made clear if you have such a ticket.

I'm not commenting on (3) with respect to Megatrain, but statement (2)
is *not* what Michael says it is. In particular, there are tickets where
BoJ is forbidden but stopping short or starting late is not.

The important bit of (2) is actually its contrapositive:
(2') All tickets that allow Break of Journey also allow stopping short
or starting late.
