What happens when a bus service starting in England reaches the border with Scotland or Wales?
A. The national bus concession guarantees free off-peak local bus travel for eligible residents within England, but not within Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. However, local transport authorities do have the discretion to make special arrangements (which are funded locally) where they feel they are appropriate. This could, for example, include free travel on cross-border journeys. It is advisable to check with the relevant bus company.
