Rail add-on to senior bus pass (TFGM)?

Right, thanks for the heads-up. You would think that, considering the sheer number of tourists, that would be clearer in their Q's and A's. Think I'll get in touch!

It's bizarre. It's a nationwide pass (well, England) so the rules should be uniform. I suppose *sighs* it's only the same as the trains where it's a "national" service but different areas have different peaks (yes, that's YOU Northern) so I suppose I'll have to get used to it!!

The rules are uniform. England Old Persons Passes are valid 09.30-23.00 Mondays to Fridays throughout England.
Certain local authorities may extend those for passes issued by them, such as in London you can use them on rail services, or in Manchester until midnight, or paying £10 to add trams. There is nothing stopping an authority allowing more than the statutory minimum

Except that they are not uniform because many authorities allow wider use for passes they have issued within their own area. My pass has no time restrictions within the council boundaries but observes the national scheme elsewhere.
