Fair use of Concessionary Pass for those live in TfL Zone 6. (ie. Caterham)
To upgrade the regulations for use of concessionary pass (ENCTS) to include Tfl trains, tube and overground, the same for London's Freedom Pass.
Why is this important?
Those people who live within TfL zone 6 who have London Freedom Pass are recognisable accepted to use all TfL transports and National. ENCTS pass is not. It is because some areas within TfL zone 6 are not managed by the London Borough Councils,
As we live within Tfl zone 6 and pay council tax to Tanridge Council, those people who live in London have freedom pass take their granted for using our nearest railway stations for free travel to/from London that our ENCTS concessionary pass cannot. This is unfair.
Have they met Equality Act 2010 regarding our concessionary passes that are limited use whilst people with London Freedom passes can be used everywhere in England including all TfL transports? I discovered that the funds for Tfl are partly from the Central Government Fund where we pay our taxes, why we don’t have this benefit?
