Opinion: 'We should all support the battle for free bus passes at 60'
I WOULD like to support Richard Worrall in his "Love the Bus Pass" campaign letter ("Join the battle to keep free bus passes for OAPs", June 30).
I was looking forward to my 60th birthday in September, but not any more since I found out that I would not be entitled to a free bus pass until 2020.
I started work aged 15, have never been unemployed and never claimed dole money. I am approaching 60 and, due to deteriorating health, I don't feel as active as I used to be.
I don't go out to town as much as I used to be because of the high car park charges and steep bus fares. I can't afford to travel more often.
I strongly feel that we all should join the battle, not only to keep the free bus pass, but also to revoke the age for its entitlement back to 60, as this is a vital means of freedom for OAPs.
Yes, Richard Worrall, send me a petition form. Thank you.

First World War: Bikers rev up as Legion marks start of centenary
MOTORBIKE riders from the Royal British Legion will be passing through Derbyshire as part of a 100-mile sponsored ride to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.
The 100-mile journey will take place on Sunday and begins at Alfreton by the war memorial, where a poppy cross will be placed, before the troop begins its journey at 8.30 am.
It will then head towards Matlock Bath before passing through Belper, Ripley and Heanor and arriving in Derby at 11.15am. An hour lunch break will be taken at noon when they get to Ashbourne.
The riders will then travel through Buxton, Castleton, Hope, Grindleford, Chesterfield and Clay Cross before finishing in Shirland at around 6pm.
Derbyshire is also being encouraged to take part in a nationwide event that will see people turn off all of their lights and replace them with candles for one hour.
Counties all over the UK will participate in "Lights Out" from 10pm to 11pm on August 4 to mark 100 years since war was declared.
The slogan refers to the words spoken by then Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey who, on the eve of the war, said: "The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."
Commemorative candles can be purchased at Marks and Spencer for £4.
