If it never happens - then that is reason enough to not bother applying.
To order a card 'just incase', but not find it or forget where you left it a year earlier then defeats the object.
The one time me and my son needed a bus into Durham, was one Saturday over the summer and he was charged 90p each way.
It was only afterwards I realised the drivers had made a mistake...
Back in the day - the old T&W child pass was issued on reaching 14. Not 11 and not 16 or 18.
On a slightly different note, I agree with aureolin and the points he has made re the Key card.
You've hit the nail on the head about key cards, my brother who is few years younger than me is now in his last year of school, he gets a lift to and from school each day and should he meet friends he'll walk or get a lift, so he never uses buses really. Last December, he had to use a bus hime as my mother was working late so I thought with him getting older he may want/need to use buses a bit more so I ordered him a KeyCard from the internet. However, as he was only getting it just in case he uses a bus on the off chance, he soon misplaced the card and it is currently sitting unactivated lost somewhere. As he's now 15, he used the bus to the Sunderland cup game the other day and has to pay £3.15 (I think) Seaham-Sunderland.
