A revised response has been given to an online petition calling for the change to the concessionary travel scheme.
The Department for Transport recently rejected an online petition calling for the concessionary bus travel scheme for people of State Pension age to include free country-wide train journeys. However, it was asked by the Petitions Committee - the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system - to provide a revised response to the proposal.
The Department for Transport said: “The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme provides free off-peak bus travel to those with eligible disabilities and those of state pension age, currently sixty-six, within England. It highlighted how operators in 11 out of 84 travel concession authority areas in England offered some form of discounted rail travel for the older person's concessionary pass.
The card gives elderly and disabled people free bus travel across Scotland and, through the Strathclyde Concessionary Travel Scheme, also provides reductions on train, Subway and ferry fares.
