I've heard that if you buy one of those use-it-or-lose it advance cheap singles, you can actually be charged the full whack if you attempt to get off the train before your final destination and are stopped at a ticket barrier.
Can this really be true? If I buy a pint of beer and make for the door before draining my glass, the barman can't haul me back in and demand a surcharge on the basis "you must consume the full pint mate"
Surely if I pay for a journey to point X, I'm entitled to terminate my trip at an earlier station if I want to. And what happens at these ticket checks if you stand your ground and say "sorry, I'm not paying"
