From 1 April 2008, English residents aged 60 or over and others who are eligible because of a disability, will be entitled to free off-peak travel on local buses anywhere in England. The off-peak time for the national scheme is defined as 9.30 am to 11.00 pm on Monday to Friday and at any time during the weekends and public holidays.
Unfortunately the scheme does not include long-distance coach or rail travel.
For more information and details about how to apply for a concessionary bus travel pass, go to the
UK government web site. Their site includes links to the local authorities that are administering the scheme.
