I'm not sure whether such sightseeing operators will be overly keen on
letting mobs of older English people on board - that said I suppose
they would be recompensed for it! I'm sure I read somewhere (can't
remember where though) that the National Bus Pass scheme meant
operators would be compensated for the full fare that would otherwise
have been paid - but I do find that very hard to believe. Anyone know
the broad outlines of how it will work?
Here in Bolton the First Manchester bus drivers now issue a ticket to each
Pass Holder as they get on, this practice has been in use for about 12
months only. I presume as a check against subsidy received.
