    I bought a book Bus Pass Britain recently,

    It has loads of scenic journeys 

    A lot were near The club Sites network

    Bonus , you can have a drink or two and see lovely countryside.

    My bus pass only works in Scotland, despite what many bus drivers in England think!  When out and about on my travels outside Scotland I prefer to use the bus as you get to see much more of the countryside.  When I had a caravan I left my car on site and used buses.  Would that all club sites had useable bus services.

    What's a bus?

    We have no public bus route to our village and the nearest is a £4 return ferry ride away. So that's £8 for us both but the car ferry costs us £4.60.

    Like others I will have to wait and whilst my wife could get a pass its pretty much useless for us where we live.

    I think what must be remembered about bus passes is that the are often a lifeline for many who are nowhere near as well off, relatively, as many of us, are who contribute here?

    Here in rural Cornwall our  nearest town is 7 miles away. We have two buses a day, both in an afternoon to get there, none back that same day, but a choice of two buses back the next morning. It would mean an overnight in a hotel to give the bus passes any use.

    Don't complain. I can't use mine in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
