For clarification:
The original rule (across the whole of the UK) was that a person qualified for their bus pass when they reached the age at which a woman would be eligible to receive her state pension. (The rule actually applied to both men and women though). As, at that time, a woman qualified for her state pension at 60, that was also the age when both men and women could get a bus pass.
The plan was that, as the age at which a women starts to receive her state pension gradually rises, the eligibility age for a bus pass should rise with it. That's been allowed to happen in England but the administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all decided to peg the qualifying age at 60.
So if Mr Cleob lives in any of those three parts of the UK, he could have had a bus pass four years ago. However if he lives in England, he'll have to wait until a woman who was born on the same day as hin qualifies for her state pension. That will be on her (and his) 66th birthday.
Confirmation here, should you need it:
