Now seems to be centralised through Transport of London and the Freedom Pass scheme rather than the old system of individual London Borough Councils.
I just checked 2 London BCs and both directed me to the Freedom Pass site.
Would make sense if it was anything like the Authorities boardering North Nottinghamshire where we
have 4 , each with a slightly different concession scheme , and still no one bus ticket covering all
areas.
For me . to travel to Pontefract some 25 odd miles north , I need 2 buses , and 2 different tickets.
Someone travelling from Chesterfield to Pontefact would need 3 buses and 3 tickets.
Imagine that situation if travelling across London !
Just checked Nottinghamshire / Derbyshire / Lincolnshire on travel concessions ... buses ... only disabled
( Subject to eligibilty criteria ) and retired persons in receipt of the State Pension ... nothing for carers.
I excluded young persons from the search.
Certainly one for Carers UK / Carers Trust to ponder.
