This type of ticket (or nonticket, if you will) is only available on
ES trains. If you buy a ticket online for another train, you have to
pick it up from the machine.

No, the ticketless service is now available on all Eurostar, InterCity and
Intercity Plus trains.

So if you miss your EC train, you have some options for using the ticket.

I'm just back from Italy, where there were some --let's say
irregularities -- in the train service. I wouldn't like to have a ticket
that only worked on one specific train.
