There have been no discussions in the last six months between the Department for Transport and the Welsh Government about cross-border use of concessionary bus passes. Although the Concessionary Bus Travel Act 2007 contains a power to allow, through future regulations, for mutual recognition of bus passes across the UK, there are no plans to introduce mutual recognition of concessionary bus passes between England and Wales or any other part of the UK. Local authorities in England neighbouring the Welsh border have powers to offer cross-border concessionary bus travel as a local enhancement to the current statutory minimum.
