For about the last three weeks, when entering or leaving a NR or LT
station, I usually (but not always) get a message to the effect that my
Freedom Pass will soon expire. As it is dated 31 March it seems a bit
early to give such a warning. Is it possible that I have a problem with
my card and it will stop working before the due date?


You need to go to the Post Office *now* to get the form. It takes a
couple of weeks to process now, not like the old days when it was issued
over the counter.


You can enter your details and have the completed application form
downloaded by going to
http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/fre...cationform.htm

The official advice is to apply this week (1-6 Feb) if your surname
begins with P to Z, and for anyone else who hasn't already applied to do
so during 8-13 Feb.

The above applies to the older persons' pass. I understand they are
going to post reminders to everyone who hasn't applied for a renewal by
mid-Feb.
