The Magistrates have to be sure beyond all reasonable doubt. If this was the CPS it would of been thrown out by now because it won't take them more than a couple of minutes to find you not Guilty. Could see you getting a letter before the next hearing saying there not proceeding with the case.

No all Scottish sleepers are. Normally it’s only me been there waiting.

If using the sleeper make sure you reserve a seat. When I’ve travelled back down on it from Falkirk after a rangers game the guards moan if you don’t have reservation some will refuse to let you on.

To be honest most tpe conductors would of been ok unless you bumped into a certain Manchester based conductor who is the type who would do his own mother.
