Update 1st April 2011:

If you live in England and are of retirement age or an eligible disabled person, you are entitled to an English National Concessionary Bus Pass.

Application forms are available from your local District or Borough Council or can be downloaded from this webpage.

Pass holders can travel from 9am until 12pm (midnight), Monday to Friday and all day weekends and bank holidays.

Travel times and entitlement in areas outside Essex vary and we suggest you check arrangements before travelling.

Your pass will allow you free off-peak travel anywhere in England during the following times:

• Monday-Friday 9.30am-11pm;
• all day (24hrs) at weekends and bank holidays;
• any time on Transport for London buses.

An Essex companion pass is available for those who have difficulty travelling without assistance. Contact the Bus Pass Office for further advice,
