Off-peak times

Off-peak is after 9.30am Monday to Friday, and all day at weekends and Bank Holidays.

9.30am onwards is the entitlement in West Yorkshire. The English National Concessionary Scheme hours for free travel nationally are 9.30am to 11pm, although times may vary in some areas.

You can find further details about the Government’s English National Concessionary Pass Scheme and the eligibility criteria on the Directgov website.

Senior Pass exclusions

You cannot use your Senior Pass on certain special bus services, excursions, tours, private hire vehicles, school and works contract services, football specials and certain express bus services.

Train travel within West Yorkshire

For West Yorkshire residents, your English National Concessionary Pass also entitles you to half-fare*, off-peak train travel within West Yorkshire (*half-fare charges explained).

The fare is per single journey within West Yorkshire, for journeys made after 9.30am, Monday to Friday, and all day at weekends and bank holidays.

The half-fare only applies to travel within West Yorkshire. If part of your journey falls outside of West Yorkshire, you will pay full fare for that part of the journey.

If you do not pay for the non-West Yorkshire part of the journey before setting off, you may be charged the full adult fare for the entire journey. Fares may be combined only to and from a station at which your train makes a scheduled stop.

You should ensure you pay the fare for the complete journey before travelling if you board at a station where ticket buying facilities exist.
