In London, as in Merseyside, people are eligible for the concessionary bus pass at 60 years of age and the ENCTS upon reaching state pensionable age. Pensioners in these areas are not required to contribute to the running of these bus services so why should pensioners in the shire counties?

By coincidence, there is a really good piece by Owen Jones (a fully paid up member of the 'looney left' and a political ally of the bearded bogey man) in this morning's Guardian on the whole issue of bus services in the UK since deregulation. It's certainly worth a read.

Barney I agree with you totally. But when you have people who vote for the Cons turn around and say they are left in the myre because of these daft savage cuts and come out with basic economics by saying that they would pay a nominal fee to preserve their service. What is thepoint of having the much fluted Buses Bill that this parliament is trying to push through?
It's ok for people in metropolises but about their voters in the country vilages?
