can it be used on buses in London?

What about on the Tube?

In London, one can actually use a concessionary bus pass on London
buses at any time of the day or night (i.e. including before 9.30am
and after 11pm weekdays) - see under the "Concessionary bus passes
from outside London" heading he

Nope.

Yes

Indeed, as long as you mean an Old Person's Bus Pass. But the Oyster readers
can't handle them so you just show it to the driver.

No

Aren't "disabled" bus passes similarly nationally valid (never having had
any interface with them, I have no idea)

Yes. (Where "national" = England.)

How does that work for cross border services?

I often see a bus in Shrewsbury with Llandiloes - Newtown - Welshpool -
Shrewsbury on it. Am guessing it is a shopping link for rural Mid Wales
into a large town, is it free as far as the border and then pay the fare
from there?

But I think the nickname is misapplied for the bus isn't it - I have an
idea that on London buses they are valid at all times, not just after 09:30?
