The first of the new national concessionary travel passes, for the over 60s and certain groups of disabled people, have now reached residents in Derby; however not all of them have arrived.

As of lunch time today Fujitsu are assuring us that all passes should be with the card holders in Derby by April 2nd. The existing Gold Cards will remain valid until the end of May so people can continue to use them for local bus journeys within Derby/Derbyshire until their new card arrives.
