truman Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 News link: http://www.jusnews.net/en/36/news/1319/Barnsley-pensioners-refuse-to-pay-train-fares-in-protest.htm "“The money being saved is so little. The four councils together pay £329,000 to Northern Rail for this concession and around 250,000 people have these passes. For less than £2 a head they provide free travel for some of the most vulnerable people in society." Why don't the pensioners just pay the £2 a head..free travel saved for very little cost or have I mis-understood..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they could reduce the state pension by £2/yr to fund the concessions... jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
