C**** on a Train

Lord give me strength this is a commuter train and still there's a table of cackly old ladies on a day out for some reason.

 

 

 

 

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.

Because they can & because they had to put up with that shit for years when they were working, it is a self perpetuating, self fulfilling prophecy.

Concession cards (bus cards) get a discount but aren't valid on peak services. Unless they had a Senior Railcard they would have been paying full price like everyone else.

Thought the Government had cancelled train discounts for bus pass holders.

P.S. Might be just if you live in the Highland region.

Old person who works here. I think the rail concessions for oldies are a local arrangement. 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.
