On reaching sixty years of
age I was surprised and disappointed to learn I was not yet eligible for a free
bus pass, needing to first reach the pensionable age of a woman with my date of
birth; this I have now done and although I won’t get a state pension for a
while (unlike my imaginary twin sister) the bus pass was duly applied for and
received a few days ago; however in the intervening three years the bus
services have dwindled and currently the village has public transport only on a
Monday, when the bus makes three trips to Darlington (but only two trips back),
so on any other day I’ll need to drive onto a bus route and park up before
getting any benefit.
