Prompting the axing of discounted child travel will be axed, in favour of retaining the gold card, if I'm honest. This was threatened within the QCS consultation, when the 'Do Minimum' scenario was discussed - although they did say this would be gone by 2015/16 iirc?

I'm far from being against concessionary fares being available, but as I've said before, they need to be proportionate and not at the detriment of other groups that need discounted travel. It's around 3x as much per day for kids to travel to school in Durham...

And if it doesn't reach the audience, that in itself will be a disgrace, bearing in mind the data (such as names and addresses) that is held, regarding pass holders.

I note there is information on buses regarding the application process for CAT pass holders, who need to reapply for their card if it is due to expire in July.
This is in addition to the letters sent to parents/guardians of those affected.
