Colin,
Come on now. Not even close to being adaptive tech related.
Further posts from anyone on this thread, regardless of your view will get you
kicked.

the points made in the letter template (link to draft below), use of a coach
rather than private car reduces congestion & pollution - Dave

Important news on the concessionary fares scheme
As somebody who has used the Government's half price coach
ticket scheme, we want to give you some important information.
The scheme currently provides up to half price travel for over
60 year olds and disabled people through Government funding.
The Government has announced that this funding will end on 31
October 2011 as part of its spending cuts programme.
While we are looking to introduce a replacement scheme, without
the government funding it is not possible to make discounts as high and the
cost of travel will increase for you.
We have written to the Government to ask that they reconsider
this decision. We have also written to a number of MPs to raise our
concerns. Many MPs have told us they agree and have written to ministers at
the Department for Transport to ask them whether they have considered the
potential impact on eligible passengers' ability to travel.
From your letters and emails, we know that many of you rely on
the half price fares. Some have also expressed concern that without it, they
may not be able to travel. If you share these concerns, perhaps you could
write to, or email, your local MP to encourage them to raise your concern
with the Department for Transport.
If you wish to write to your local MP we have included a letter
template that you may want to use, simply add your details, print and send.

We will be in touch soon with more information on how you can
take advantage of the half price travel scheme before it ends.
Yours Sincerely,
Andrew Cleaves
Managing Director - National Express, Coach
