He means a Freedom pass for the 60-60 whatever it is this week that
doesn't get a pension yet.

That isn't the same as the normal Freedom pass because it can't be
used on buses outside of London.

Huh? I have a (Cambridgeshire) bus pass and don't get a pension. I can use
it anywhere in the country.

People attaining the age of 60 this year won't get such a pass, because
the goalposts have been moved.

For someone who becomes 60 today, they'll have to wait until 6 July 2015
to qualify for a national bus pass, assuming they haven't changed the
rules again by then.
