Six months after the new pound came into circulation, some vending and parking machines are still not ready to accept it
Southern rail has been struck by delays again, but this time it is in adapting to the new pound coin. An unknown number of the operator’s ticket machines will not be ready to accept the new coin on Monday when the old round pound is phased out.
About 400m round pounds were thought to remain in circulation over the weekend after 60m were spent in the preceding week.
