This includes rail, bus and all Transport for London routes. To date, over 2,200 rail journeys have been made via the free onward travel offer, and many more on UK bus, coach and tram services. On the 20 June, this scheme was extended for a further six months.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 28/06/2022 13:41:31 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
