I think the only time you get charged peak fares is before 9am

I have found that the times I have used sites like the trainline or national rail enquiries, the prices they show on the internet are far more expensive than the prices you pay the conductor when you get on!

You have a good point there lolo. In my experience they would not take Scottish money past Chester, so you would run in to trouble if you were asked for money after a change of train etc.

Even in the north east which isnt far from the border you would sometimes have problems passing scottish notes

Ah thats in Yorkshire though Lolo - we are not even keen on money coming from Lancashire let alone abroad (Scotland) - but aorund Scotch Corner they may well barter with you if you have the odd sheep in the back of the car.
