Well, it looks like the protests against the restrictions placed on the use of the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme here in South Yorkshire have begun. On Monday, the first day that passes were no longer valid on the trains, a group of over a hundred disabled and elderly passengers got on a train and refused to pay; and it looks like people are actively protesting online...and I've just signed an online petition.
It's not as though a lot of money is involved; the amount that the PTE is saving is only about £300,000 per year - peanuts really, only about 15p per resident of the county.
Good Luck Lee. My fingers are crossed for you.
