As far as I know there are no plans to stop the over 60's using the cards. However who knows what will happen if there is a change of government.

i think it is something to do with who supplies the card,, mines a WYRE card,and i can use it on trams and buses and the ferry,,i think cards supplied by Lancashire and Manchester may be different though i am not sure

grannyclaret · 18-09-2009, 21:32

we are going to York for a few days in October,,i hope i can use it there,,,
