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.
If you are unable to apply online please call our Traveline team on 01709 515151 for assistance.
You can renew a pass up to two months before your existing pass expires (or of course after your pass has expired).
If neither of the above apply to you, you will need proof of entitlement just as you did to get your previous pass. It may take some time if you need to get your local authority to confirm that you’re still entitled so we recommend that you apply early!
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.
Your replacement pass will be posted to your home address and should be sent to you within 11 days.
