Why would they let anyone on the train with the wrong ticket anyway? Seems like you could just travel 1 stop without paying at all.
In the UK they don't scan your ticket before you get on, they do it during the trip, so you can quite easily get on. You can even buy your ticket when you're actually on the way to your destination.
That is the same way it is here where I live. Which is in the US. Maybe #2 never took a train before.
I went to Boston and I got on the wrong train, but we were allowed to get back on the right train without paying again
