Why do old people need to travel at the time real people are trying to get to work? Why do old people need to travel full stop? Do they get free tickets on the trains as well as the buses? Surely these things should be means-tested and only usable outside of the hours when people are going to/coming home from work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they had a Senior Railcard they would have been paying full price like everyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the Government had cancelled train discounts for bus pass holders. P.S. Might be just if you live in the Highland region.

I can obtain a reduction in off peak rail fares but only within the Strathclyde PTE area. I also have a Senior Railcard but one has to buy that upfront and hope one's savings recoup the cost, not unlike the one the youngsters can procure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Diehard Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 They are professional queue-blockers, heading for a post office near you.Incorrect; too early for that. Auld dears only go to the post office at lunch time and the 15 minutes before they close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
