Free local bus travel is a vital lifeline for many disabled people. After an almost two-year campaign the Government has finally listened to Liberal Democrat calls to stop restrictions to disabled bus passes. Disabilities don’t start at 9.30am. Neither should disabled bus passes.

Just listened to the interview with LBC. The 'failures' @henryriley1.bsky.social of the Dublin Agreement? which 'only' returned 100's was that...there was no boat crisis when we signed up to the DA! No one was crossing the channel. No need for huge returns. Clearly it was an effective deterrent.

Finally caught up with Scotland. Not only have there been no restrictions on bus passes, but "the National Entitlement Card scheme also allows for free travel for companions where required by eligible disabled people of any age (including children under 5)." www.transport.gov.scot/concessionar...
