They're incorporated in the contract so failure to honour on their part is a problem. Obviously the conditions have a lot of get-outs for them but them refusing to obey the rules that you agreed to in buying the ticket is a problem. The bye-laws (statutory instrument) only deal with offences etc by passengers, they don't set up a separate statutory framework for disputes between railway and passenger. So AFAIK it's just contract law that you'd be dealing with in that stage. As well as the normal range of tort law damages options depending on how mean they are to you.

Problem with doubling back is that I can't find it in the conditions. Not like the British system where you have a Routeing Guide that weighs more than I do, dealing with the 589305029385 possible permitted routes.
