Dorset: you are also entitled to free local bus travel in all other areas of England during these off-peak times.

Dorset County Council in addition to this statutory scheme will also allow all day free travel throughout the week for blind and partially sighted people. The council is offering free travel for companion pass holders from 0930 to 2300 on weekdays and all day at weekends and public holidays.

Some rural areas of Dorset have less frequent public transport services and with this in mind Dorset County Council is offering pre 0930 travel as an exception to the scheme where there is no other service or the next available service is 1030 or later. See Full List Here
