Easybus/Greenline/Terravision all run the service with the same buses - the different companies are just different methods of booking the same bus.

I've no idea if you can use your bus pass or not and whether the recent changes have made any difference to this.

Greenline and easyBus are classed as coach services (as is National Express), so I assume they don't count under the old people's freebie bus pass scheme. There probably is a way to do it using local buses but I wouldn't want to be the one working out how.

Green Line services are registered as a local service and are therefore eligible for the scheme.

Scheduled coach services are not included in the National Concessionary Travel Scheme, except those which are registered as local services (for example, Green Line 757, Virgin Rail VT99 or Stagecoach X5).

Here is the GreenLine 757 timetable.

As teenagers, we travelled across the Netherlands on local bus services. I think it cost us about £3 or was it 3 Guilders. I forget. Everyone was amazingly helpful, pointing out where we had to change buses, which routes we needed, etc. All the same.. I would prefer not do it again, and definitely not in Britain, either.

Good luck. You must be a stickler for punishment!
