<p>Under the terms of The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme a holder of
a concessionary bus pass is able to travel between 09.30am and 11.00pm on weekdays
and all day at weekends and on Bank Holidays</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities in England
have the power to offer additional local concessions, such as extending the hours
of the concession, and three quarters of authorities already do so.</p><p> </p><p>This
area is kept under review. The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme costs
around £1 billion annually so any changes, such as extending the concession to include
morning peak time travel, would need to be carefully considered for their impact on
the scheme’s financial sustainability.</p><p> </p>
