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.

That depends on the issuing council(s). I'm sure Cambridgeshire will be one
of the meanest.
