Derbyshire County Council have announced that, from 1 April, concessionary half-price train fares will no longer be available within the county for the over-60s. This extra-statutory benefit has to go, to help pay for the new universal free bus rides
It will not affect me but there must be many who will be severely disadvantaged by this move. Perhaps it will be worth their while to buy a Senior Citizens Railcard, if these can be used for purely local journeys
I noticed recently that some bus companies use the acronym DOAP on tickets. Grounds for a complaint about hurt feelings & ageism?
