Thanks for the analysis, but what is needed is information as to how a
passenger is treated in practice ...

My experience is that if after getting off a train you go straight to a
member of staff and tell them you need to buy a ticket, you won't have
any problems. The reason you don't have a ticket doesn't seem to
matter.

Now, admittedly I've not tried doing this and telling them I want a
ticket from just one stop up the line - I can see how they might get a
bit suspicious about that!
