What are off-peak hours? Conversely to peak hours, off-peak hours are the times when electricity prices are cheaper. This is typically the case because there are fewer people trying to access the grid during these hours, meaning there is less overall demand and you won't have to pay a premium for each kWh that you use.
Off-peak electricity hours are periods when the electricity demand is low, which results in consumers paying lower electricity prices. During these times, utilities and electric companies don't have to pay as much to generate electricity because people are using less energy overall.
The morning peak is generally from when the first train of the day leaves to the last train arriving in London before 10:00am. In the evening it is generally between 16:30 and 19:01 for services leaving London. Anytime outside of this, would generally be considered off peak travel.
What happens if I've missed the last train connection? If you've missed the last train connection due to a delay, don't panic. Rail operators cannot leave you stranded mid-journey, especially if the delay is within their control.
