I think you'll find that the important distinction is that LONDON under 16's travel free, they will be given a card which can be taken off of them for bad behaviour on the buses etc."If a man says something, but there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?"0

The drivers are being really strict as well. If they don't produce the ID under age card.........................they chuck 'em off. Bit harsh, as the 5 kids I've seen turned away, all looked under 12.
A friend of my husband is a bus driver, he said they are getting many more kids around 11-13yrs old, coming home on the night buses at 3am !!!!!
LLWe are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars........................0
