Negotiate UK-wide recognition of older person's bus passes

I think senior citizens living close to the English, Scottish & Welsh borders are disadvantaged in how many local bus services they can use. Bus services run across borders and I think it would be easier and fairer if the bus pass covered the whole journey, and return, on all of these services.

I think it would be fairer for all if these passes could simply be used on any bus service in the UK. This could increase pensioner independence and travel opportunities, especially for those living in border areas.
