Like many, we received our new bus pass shortly after April 1st 2008. This, we knew, enabled us to travel throughout England for no cost as long as we stuck to the rules.
A quick search on the Internet, a quick Google, produced no substantial information apart from that issued by many local authorities throughout the country.
Hence "Bus Pass Heaven" which will now be your one-stop shop for anything and everything to do with the new style bus passes. Here you will find details from all local authorities, here you will find the best way to travel around and here you will find favorite routes and bus trips submitted by other "Bus Pass Heaven" members. Join the forum and share info and trips with others but... most of all, ENJOY
