Well that's it I have reached the age that I can apply for my bus pass! Does it hurt when things start dropping off me? Do I qualify as a grumpy old man or is there a form to be filled in?

Had mine since I was sixty!  I was one of the lucky ones.  We use ours a lot - for visiting our local town, when we go out with friends for lunch in Leeds or Harrogate, when we want to visit another local town, and for our local airport bus - so we can be off a plane, and back home in twenty five minutes!

Like johndailey (earlier post) we love to sit upstairs and see things we can't see from the car.

I have to wait until I'm 67 but there's plenty of time for that to be raised before I get close to it Sad

They are only free for you and your colleagues. Everyone else is paying higher fares to cover the cost.
