New passes extending the entitlement to free off-peak bus travel to cover the whole of England have been issued by Fujitsu, as part of a national government contract, to 33,000 Diamond Travelcard holders in Bath and North East Somerset.

This is part of a national reissue of over five million bus passes which entitle holders to travel free on local buses across England from 1 April. Diamond Travelcards are available to all of Bath and North East Somerset’s residents aged over 60 and certain disabled persons.

If any passes have incorrect personal information, they will be replaced but, in the meantime, if you wish to travel outside the local area, the Council will issue a temporary national pass to be used with the current pass. Please contact Council Connect on 01225 394041 to obtain one.
