Coronavirus update – postal/drop box pass applications

Our priority is to protect the safety of both our customers and our staff in these uncertain times. In order to be able to maintain a customer contact service our Traveline team have moved to more remote working, this means we will be unable to receive and process postal or drop box paper application forms for our concessionary passes at this time. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

You can still apply online which we aim to get delivered to you in 11 days. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and provide updates when we can.

To replace a lost or damaged pass, there is a £7 replacement fee. Stolen passes can be replaced free of charge if you have a Crime Reference Number from the Police.
