Some of the above is getting me confused!
The rule is that 'bubbles' (as the politicians and health advisors call them) or 'links (as they're actually referred to within the Regulations) must be EXCLUSIVE. If Household A and Household B form a link/bubble together, neither of them is allowed to form a link/bubble with Household C (or D or E or, etc, etc).
The 80yo in the question has already formed a link/bubble with another household (where her family members reside), so she CAN'T now form a link/bubble with the household where the 74yo resides.
Woofgang's assertion that there's no restriction on travelling together in cars is simply WRONG. A car is an 'enclosed space' as far as the legislation on smoking is concerned and it's that legislation which is then used by the coronavirus Regulations to define 'indoors'. So two or more people (from different households) in the same car constitutes an 'indoor gathering' as far as the Regulations are concerned.

There are exemptions for work purposes (including the provision and use of public transport), Woofgang.
From the Cambridgeshire Constabulary website:
"[Q:] Can I share a private vehicle with someone from another household?
[A]:] No. You can only travel in a private vehicle alone, or with members of your household."

I apologise if I have come across as being rude but I was hoping that something I consider to be complicated could be explained to me in a very simple way. I realise there are different situations and I have tried to set it out as best as I can and all I wanted was a simple yes or no answer.
Chris [A]:] No. You can only travel in a private vehicle alone, or with members of your household."
If this is the latest advice I will phone my friend and tell her she shouldn't go.

This is getting complicated!
There's a difference between an 'enlosed space' and a 'public enclosed space', NJ. All cars are 'enclosed spaces' but only 'public' cars (such as rental cars or company vehicles used by more than one driver) are 'public enclosed spaces'. The coronavirus Regulations rely solely upon the defintion of an 'enclosed space' (rather than a 'public enclosed space') to define 'indoors'.
