Any other WASPI women in Greater Manchester? A bit of good news

Transport for Greater Manchester is offering a concessionary travel pass to WASPI women from the date that we would have received our pension before the rules changed in 2011.

So for instance, before the changes in 2011 I would have received my State Pension when I was 64 and 9 months.

I now have to wait until 66 for my pension but I can have a concessionary pass when I am 64 and 9 months.

You need to go to the TFGM website and click on the link to "Tickets and Passes" then scroll down the page to
"Women’s Concessionary Travel Scheme Pass"
I am sorry I don't know how to add a direct link.

The pass seems to cost £10 but then there is free travel on the buses and the tram. So will easily pay for itself.
