Answer 8

Peak and Offpeak mean basically rush hour or not rush hour. Peak times are when the train is the most full. Generally, trains will run more frequently at these times.

Answer 9

Peak means during the peak times--the crowded times, usually rush hour (mornings, into the city; afternoons, into the suburbs). Peak tickets are usually more expensive. An off-peak ticket will NOT be honored at peak times. (Check the schedule.) You will have to pay a little more.
