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?
