incident MIG had at Euston when trying to use Oyster Season / BZ6
ticket at Euston, albeit with PAYG instead, and not BZ6.

The main difference is that everything MIG did was entirely within the
rules, which Virgin chose to enforce incorrectly - while your
situation was understandable, you were very clearly and literally
travelling without a valid ticket (although ironically, if you'd been
dishonest enough to not leave the platform and try and touch out,
you'd have been fine...!)

I didn't realise slow trains made appearances at the long-distance
platforms at Paddington - anyone know how often this happens?

Not sure if it still happens, but up till Jan last year a couple of class
165s would stable overnight in plat 10.
