National Express for the over 60s
As of 31st October 2011, the government’s funding of a concessionary travel scheme on National Express coaches has ended. For those who previously benefitted from this scheme, there is now a new Coachcard scheme in operation by National Express. The new Coachcards, which can be purchased by those over 60 or registered disabled, cost just £10 for a year and entitle the named passenger to 1/3 off the ticket price all year round.
