How will the change in age eligibility announced by the Government affect the date on which I qualify for a travel concession in England?
The age of eligibility for concessionary travel in England will change in line with those changes being made to equalise eligibility for state pension benefits from April 2010. As the pensionable age for women increases from 60 to 65 over the next 10 year period so too withe age of eligibility for concessionary travel for both men and women. Anyone born after 5 April 1955 and living in England will not be eligible for concessionary travel until they reach the age of 65.
