I do however, see some *very* problematic consequences of this in some
areas for demographic reasons; Blackpool and Torquay spring to mind.
(Notwithstanding the above, will the scheme give free bus travel in
Blackpool to "visiting" 60+ people but exclude the trams?)

Blackpool's scheme doesn't include trams, hence them now running route 1
(following the trams), initially to cover for winter engineering works,
but later because over 60s passes won't be valid on the trams.
