Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy to provide free rail passes to all people who reach state pension age in the UK.
The Senior Railcard already allows over 60s to take advantage of 1/3 off most rail fares. In addition, there are a number of more local concessionary passes that are valid on national rail, such as the travel pass for older people in Greater Manchester.
