I GOT MY NEW FREEDOM PASS,,, VALID UNTIL MARCH 2010

www.freedompass.org says they are valid for two years until March 2008,
or perhaps that's just the renewed ones. Is this your first one or have
you just renewed the old one?

Whilst the validity on the pass itself says 2006 or 2008, I think I'm
right in saying that the actual *card* has the expiry date encoded as
31st March 2010. Why this is, I'm not entirely sure, but there you go...

The advert about renewal that I've seen shows the original card with
just a label stuck on giving the expiry date as 2008. So it may well be
that the card does not expire until 2010.

Has anybody checked what shows on the screen when the card is used on a
bus?

If you add a Freedom Pass to an Oyster online account the expiry shows
as 2010.
