I'd be grateful if you could demonstrate how a Ticket for a Rail Journey is captured by The Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations, S 4.2.(a) may help.A consumer contract may be a for the supply of goods (transfer of ownership) or for the supply of services - rail travel falling into the latter category. . . .
As I commented, I acknowledge that this is a popular belief (by which I mean that there is ample evidence of reports from other people who share that belief and who have made that assertion), even a very popular belief, and it is trivially easy to read 5.1 of those Regulations as if it applied to a Rail Journey.
So its a belief for which I would be grateful to find substantiation in Law as until we do, I am simply unable to agree with you that "that there is a clear indication that these consumer protection regulations are intended to cover railway contracts", (though whether that was the Department of Trade's intention or not at the time is perhaps only of passing interest now).
Turning to your reference to The Office of the Rail Regulator, the ORR has limited jurisdiction in assisting the passenger in a dispute concerning the subject of this thread unless it has broader impact.
