the standard national bus pass plus 24-hours London Freedom pass
becoming available at a rising age of roughly 62.

If you became 60 today and were expecting a pass, you'd have to wait
until you were almost 64 (6th March 2017).

If you became 59 today, then you'd have to wait until you were almost 66
(6th March 2020). It's amazing how fast this eligibility is tapering away!

But in London, your are eligible for the 60+ Oyster card as soon as you
reach 60.
