Concessionary GM travel now costs £10 per year to add tram and train.

If you have a TfGM-issued pension-age concessionary pass or a Women’s Concessionary Travel pass, to continue to benefit from unlimited off-peak travel on trams and trains in Greater Manchester after 1 February 2020, you will need to pay an annual £10 fee.

There is no change to free, off-peak bus travel across England and, if you only use buses, you can choose not to pay to add tram and train.

The £10 charge does not apply to concessionary passes for disabled people.

The new scheme starts 1 February, but you can pay now, to make sure you’re ready. If you pay early, you will be covered for one year from 1 February 2020. After 1 February, you’ll be covered for a full year from the date you pay.

Care agency service

If you can’t use ordinary buses because you’re blind or have serious walking disabilities you could get vouchers for taxis or accessible travel like Ring & Ride.

You can’t use vouchers if you already have a National Concessionary Travel Pass, or a Concessionary Plus Pass. 

This scheme is specific to Greater Manchester, but it is possible that authorities in different parts of the country operate a similar scheme.
