English Concessionary Bus Pass (a pass issued by a English Local Authority)

English Concessionary passes can be used on our Berwick Town Service. There are some notes to be aware of:

• If the pass is for a Disabled Person (yellow marking on pass) or has a C+1, then this can be used for free travel at anytime in Berwick.
• If the pass is not a Disabled pass or does not have C + 1 marked on it then the pass cannot be used until after 9.00am as stipulated by Northumberland County Council.
• English Passes can be used for a half fare concession on the following cross Border Routes – 235, 236 & 253.
• An English Pass on our routes 60 and 67 – Berwick to Galashiels, entitles you to travel free, as long as you either start your journey in Northumberland or finish in Northumberland. If you get off the bus in Scotland (i.e. Kelso and get back on in Kelso, then you have to pay a concession half fare).
• You are also entitled to travel free to Eyemouth only on Routes 235, 236 & 253. (This is an agreement between ourselves & Northumberland County Council)

Parents & Children please note: We have had some issues in the past with Children/Young Adults claiming they are still entitled to half fare when in fact they are not this has been particularly apparent at Evenings and Weekends.

Please en-sure your child has the correct pass or proof of age to avoid any confusion. If the child has no proof of age they may be charged a full fare.
