Concessions & free bus passes
Lakes Line does not accept concessionary bus passes.
You can not use your concessionary bus pass to travel on Lakes Line. There are other great value tickets available for you.
English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) passes issued in Cumbria, where the Lakes Line is located, are generally not valid for free train travel on Northern services. Concessionary passes from Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland (60+ SmartPass, 65+ Senior SmartPass), and the London Freedom Pass are not applicable to the Lakes Line in Cumbria, England. While these specific bus passes are not accepted for free travel, other concessionary discount schemes, such as the Disabled Persons Railcard and Senior Railcard, are accepted on Northern services, including the Lakes Line, offering discounted fares.
