On a related topic about currency - when are TfL planning to upgrade
ticket machines to accept notes from elsewhere in the UK now they're getting
rid of ticket offices? Or is everyone supposed to go to a bank to change
their scottish/NI/channel islands notes first if they don't want to use a
card?

Yes. Scottish and NI notes are not legal tender in England AFAIK. The
Channel Islands are not even part of the UK. If TfL want to upgrade the
ticket machines, it would make more sense to accept Euro notes.

Channel Islands notes along with scottish , NI & IoM notes are still legal
tender since they are Pound Stirling. Apparently Gibralter is the odd one out
and I'm not sure why. But you make a good point about Euro notes - that would
be especially useful at St P. though some scots I know would appreciate the
machines at Kings X to accept scottish notes. Somehow however I doubt the
issue has even occured to TfL.
