The main difference is that everything MIG did was entirely within the
rules, which Virgin chose to enforce incorrectly - while your
situation was understandable, you were very clearly and literally
travelling without a valid ticket (although ironically, if you'd been
dishonest enough to not leave the platform and try and touch out,
you'd have been fine...!)
