To Ruth Kelly, Minister of Transport
While welcoming the new England-wide pensioners\' bus passes, we urge the Government to extend the scheme as follows:
EXTEND the bus pass to include rail travel;
EXTEND coverage of the pass to travel throughout the entire UK, including Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales;
EXTEND the hours the pass may be used to before the present 9.30am watershed, to permit free bus and rail travel 24/7.
ABOUT TIME. THE WHOLE UK NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED. DISGRACEFUL THAT IT STOPS AT THE BORDER.

We need this for trains too! living in the sticks means the bus only comes twice a week if we are lucky. rail travel is the only way to get to see our grandkids up north.

it makes no sense to limit the hours. most of our appointments are early in the morning so the 9.30 rule just makes us pay for journeys we should get for free. sort it out
