i was told last week by a tram conductor in blackpool to use the nowcard whilst i can as from next year they are to be phaseout , any one heard anything about this ?
 
ah my dad was on about this the other day, he said they are clamping really down on who can have them
 
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

just checked the FAQ on it granny n it says YOU CAN use now cards on trams at blackpool. which proves the driver that morning was either stupid or a complete sh1t.:(

There is a very strong feeling of those in the know that the government will be changed and with good reason.
Ring the transport authority where you intend to travel with your card and they will confirm or otherwise if your card is valid.

The now card can be used anywhere in England between 9.30am and 11pm weekdays and all day until 11pm on weekends. There are certain exceptions on express services and some park and ride schemes. Although I have used mine no park and ride in various cities in England. In most places outside Lancashire I have only had to show my card and have not been given a ticket.
