It's also very hard on those without access to the internet or familiarity
with how to use it, mainly the old, if the internet is the only means of
access to information.

I'm surprised some disabled groups haven't got on to them. They don't get
free travel on NR or do they?


A disabled freedom pass does grant free travel on NR (and without the
M-F a.m. peak restriction that over-60s have).



The freedom pass page say that the M-F am peak restriction does hold on
NR. http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/freedompass/whenwhere/rail.htm

The only case I can see where the disabled pass is allowed where older
persons is not is Southern services between Clapham Junction and Harrow
& Wealdstone before 9.00am Monday to Friday. (from the map)
