Using English bus passes in Wales (1 Viewer)

[GJH]

We're at a THS in Abergele at the moment. Caught the bus this morning and asked for 2 day rover tickets. The driver asked if we had passes as, although travel is not free with English ones, Arriva allow discount on day rover tickets in North Wales - £3·50 instead of £6·50 each. Just show your pass and ask for concessionary day rover tickets.

I am amazed the driver dared to ask Jill for a pass - the fact that he knew you were an old codger does not surprise me

You've got to admit, the question should have been "are you his carer ?"

Just been down to cardiff today to pick up a car. Went to put the post code in my sat nav and had to change country to do so.

Always classed wales as a foreign country, surprised they accept anything english.
