train times off peak

[Freddo]

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

[MrSmith767]

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!

wouldnt take that chance though especially with scottish notes

[English Kate]

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.

[Emily of Halifax]

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

remember OH stopping at some services a few mile from scotch corner & they refused to take them so had to switch my burger king

[Emily of Halifax]

Think its because its people dont no what they are supposed to look like and how to spot fakes I worked in foreign exchange for a while a few years ago an had a book the size of the bible to compare notes with like I sid on another thread i struggle to even spend english £50's because people just dont no what to look for
