Free Regional Rail Travel For Pensioners

EDM number 1350 in 2008-09, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 27/04/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Elderly people and Railways.

That this House welcomes the success of free bus travel for pensioners and disabled people; recognises the huge boost this has created in the use of bus services and the benefit this has brought to many pensioners, particularly those on lower incomes; realises that there are limits to the distance an individual can travel by bus; and therefore calls on the Government to work with rail operators to introduce a scheme of free regional rail travel helping pensioners travel even further afield free of charge.

This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
