This is one of those strange things as mentioned a London freedom pass
holder may only travel as far as Dartford, yet a KCC half fare permit
holder may travel at half fare all the way to Woolwich.


That's not uncommon with surrounding shire counties of several
Metropolitan areas.

For example, Centro's (very generous) scheme in the West Midlands cuts
off very firmly at the West Midlands boundary. However, passes for
Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire allow (much less
generous) travel into the West Midlands county, so that people from -
say_ Warwick can go all the way to Coventry or Cannock all the way in
to Walsall.

They might even allow travel all the way into Birmingham, I'm not
certain.
