philmayfield 3,672 Report post Posted March 10 I guess most of the people on this site will have a free ‘bus pass. Sadly I don’t but neither do we have any buses out here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,011 Report post Posted March 10 Not used an NCT bus since I left their employment back in 1967. Gone are the days when it were 6d from Bilborough depot to city on no.16 and the same from Bracebridge drive. Heaven knows how to work it out nowadays. No idea what number goes where. Just hope Sussex bus pass would work, provided I knew where I were going! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 6,181 Report post Posted March 10 When we come to Nottingham, our Cambs bus passes don't always work on the buses...the drivers don't seem surprised or bothered - they just let us get on the bus anyway. They have worked on some of the buses we've used, though. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 6,181 Report post Posted March 11 Catfan, So it isn't just that our bus passes are from Cambs, then? I thought that this was the reason they didn't work properly in Nottingham 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've used mine from the IOW in the south to Cumbria in the north. A lot of the ticket readers suffer software issues. Nowt wrong with yer pass. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,011 Report post Posted March 12 You mention the I O W, CFan , last time we on there, the driver of the little Noddy train said we could use our passes on there as well. That was in Yarmouth. Behind a mini tractor in open carts would you believe! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
