Hi gleno 1

I am retired too, and have travelled about on my bus pass.
I live in romford essex, and have travelled on buses and trains, to go as far as dunstable in bedfordshire!
Didnt cost us a penny -- brilliant.
We've also travelled while in dorset, to bourmouth, and have even crossed the swanage ferry!

Enjoy your bus pass -- we do x

Concessionary bus passes issued by English local authorities outside London are not valid on Tube, Tramlink, DLR, London Overground or National Rail Services.

I lifted the above from the Transport for London site. When I was in London last week I went to tourist info and picked up a wonderful map showing all bus routes and numbers. I bussed everywhere because I like to see things.

Yes I've used my (England and Wales) bus pass on London buses with no problems whatsoever, Just show it to the driver.

He may or may not press a button on his machine to record a journey but that's not your problem

Correction to my previous post - delete Wales.

Only English passes accepted

Apologies
