Should I attend interview?

I've applied to a large bank to their analyst program (UK), and twice in my application and phone interview said how I wish to work in Sales and Trading. I've since been invited to their assessment centre next week, but I've been told I will only be considered for roles in Corporate and Investment Banking instead. As far as I am aware, this does not include sales and trading, and I have no desire to go in to investment banking (hours too long). So should I email them and tell them I'm not coming?
