There are some changes to the National Concessionary Travel Scheme if your pass is issued by Bromsgrove District Council, Malvern Hills District Council, Redditch Borough Council and Wychavon District Council.

From 1 April 2011, you will no longer be able to travel free of charge before 09:30hrs Monday to Friday.

Free travel is available to all holders of National Concessionary travel passes between 09:30hrs and 23:00hrs Monday to Friday and all day at weekends and bank holidays.

However, there are some infrequent services where passes issued by these local authorities can be used on prior to 09:30hrs.  These are:
