Freedom Passes can be used on buses in England, with certain
restrictions. As far as I know the 60+ passes can't.


That's a given

FP is also not valid (M-F) on "English" buses before 9.30 or after 11.00

In theory, English passes are not valid on TfL busses outside those hours,
but I don't think that rule's enforced (but have no way of checking).

Here is the 60+ rail map on the TfL web site:

That's great, how did you find that?

And here the Freedom Pass rail map on the London Councils web
site:

As far as I can see the only difference between 60+ and Freedom
passes is Reading. A Freedom Pass can be used on TfL Rail to any
station after West Drayton as far as Reading. (A Freedom Pass is
not valid on GWR trains.)


Yep

That's been discussed previously here
