o.a.p.travel on london buses

jigsy_in_spain

My elderly parents are visiting London for their Diamond Wedding Anniversary in April. Could anyone tell me if their bus passes, issued in Hull, are valid for free travel on London buses. I've looked at all the London travel sights and can find no information at all. Thanks Jigsy

My mum lives in Manchester but uses her bus pass when visiting me so I imagine one from Hull would be valid too.

Yes they are.

Yes they are - I think off peak only.

I've used mine more in London than at home.

Presumably the restriction is only for the morning peak? Everywhere else they can be used any time after 9.30am.

Correct - I think there's also an evening 'curfew' of 11pm or so - same as elsewhere.

Londoners with a 'freedom pass' (their equivalent) no longer have time restrictions I believe.

I think its at any time, but will they really be travelling before 9.30 am anyway?

Where I am there's no curfew but they're only valid on ordinary buses not night buses, so I suppose that imposes an unnoficial curfew of about midnight or so.

Locals' passes are also valid on local trains from 9.30am until end of service, which is also about midnight on most routes.

It's just a shame I'm quite a way off qualifying myself!
