I thought exiting at Cambridge would be "abandoning" the journey which
is allowed at any station en-route. IIRC a BOJ would be if you left,
came back, and continued the journey

A house in Cambridge. Knock at door, circa 10pm
"Excuse me, sir, but it seems that you have abandoned your journey.
Please come with us, so we can put you on a train to Ely."

Airlines have attempted to surcharge people who buy a cheaper ticket
than only use part of it (they regard it as fraud). And they are usually
quite fierce about cancelling the whole ticket if you fail to turn up at
the origin [eg failing to do London-Paris on a London-Paris-New York
ticket.]

The only workaround appears to be to actually fly to the real origin on a
separate ticket. It is still much cheaper to do so for some airlines,
though.

Maybe we'll see people catching a train to Ely, just to come back on an
offpeak travelcard to London, then return as far as Cambridge in the
evening peak?

The key word being 'attempted'. I know people who made 'open jaw'
journeys like that on routes which don't offer sane one-way prices,
but don't know of any successful surcharge. It would be a bit stupid
to penalise one's customers for buying more than they use, as the
seat can be sold again last-minute if there's still demand.

I think I'd need to see the actual rule in black and white before
commenting further. It's possible that you can leave the station freely,
and that the only restriction is on re-entering; but what do the words
say?

That's breaking the spirit of cam.*, where everyone comments
knowledgeably on everything :-)
