From 1 April 2008, the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme, allowing free travel to those over-60s and qualifying disabled people who have passes, will apply to off-peak journeys on almost all services described on this site as bus. We hope to indicate where this is not the case as more information about exclusions becomes available. For journeys shown as coach, those which stop frequently will be included in the scheme, but if the service requires pre-booking, a booking fee may still be charged. Most long-distance coach services are not included in the scheme, although coach operators such as National Express already have special fares for the over-60's so please check with the operator.
