Changes to concessionary travel from April 2011
From 1 April 2011 holders of the national bus pass under the
English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) will need to pay a
fixed fare of 30p for any journey starting before 9.30am Mondays to
Fridays.
This fare will apply to all scheduled services operating within, from or
between the areas covered by Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and
Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Councils. Travel at any other time
remains free of charge.
The 30p concessionary fare applies only to pass holders whose English
National Concessionary Travel Scheme pass was issued by Hartlepool,
Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees Borough
Councils.
Travellers who hold passes issued by other authorities will need to pay
full fare if they wish to travel before 9.30am or after 11.00pm Mondays to
Fridays.
Pass holders boarding buses outside the area covered by the above councils
will only be able to travel free of charge between 9.30am and 11.00pm on
weekdays and at any time on weekends.
