And its something we've had in London for a long time too. But it also
covers Trains and the underground as well.
I'm slightly confused though as I didn't hear the actual announcement. Are
we talking about a pass which will allow a pensioner and/disabled person
free access to all buses anywhere in England? Or access to the national
coatch system.
And of course being the synical person I am I want to know why we are being
given this gift. Is it to get us off the trains because they are so packed?

This is of course one of the many benefits of living in Scotland. Blind people have had this for some time and it becomes gerally available for pensioners and other disabled people from next month.

Listening to the budget and just heard, I think, our Chief Accountant, err,
sorry Chancelor, say there is to be free off peak national bus travel.
Maybe those who really know can tell us how good this news really is? Ray
