Using Your Bus Pass Across the UK: Which Passes Work Where

Each part of the UK runs its own free bus travel scheme for older people, and the passes do not all work everywhere. This course explains where your English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish pass can and cannot be used, the special cross-border routes, and how to plan a trip or holiday so you are not caught out at the bus door.

This course gives general information about concessionary bus travel in the UK. Rules are set by each nation and can change; always check with your pass issuer or bus operator before you travel.
