Eh? Like getting on the wrong train by mistake and being charged a "full
anytime fare - no railcard discounts" ? [EMT announcement of their
standard policy, earlier today]



Since no contract exists, you have boarded a train in error there is no
intention to use the service provided you probably cannot be compelled to
pay anything. You will of course have to vacate the train at the earliest
opportunity and pay for your own ongoing transport.

Terms and conditions can only be enforced if you have agreed to them,
normally by the act of paying for the service.


rubbish

Starting to use the service amounts to entering the contract. The fact that
it is not the intended train is irrelevant, if it is going to the correct
station.
