From https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/leave-train-early-on-an-advance-ticket.251323/#post-6322760 (as the point below is valid, but speculative)
However, the increased use of e-tickets could eventually require passengers to physically record an exit at the final station, with potentially a follow up request to pay for a higher fare if the final touch isn't recorded.
We are already seeing people being charged more for starting short when using advance fares on e-tickets and no touch having been recorded at the starting station, although this is admittedly easier to catch.
