    Hi @kirstymcreed.     There's an infinite amount of different bus passes, eg for students, unemployed, disabled, elderly,   the list is almost endless.  Some are only valid in certain zones, some only with specific operating companies; a few are valid nationwide.  Could you be a bit more specific regarding your circumstances?

    If you go onto your local councils website you should find info on your card and where you can go.

    A bus pass will not allow you free travel on trains. A disabled rail card will allow you 1/3 off your costs but certainly not free travel.

    I would have no idea, it depends on your local council. You will need to check with them how far and which buses you can use your card on.
