Or should "Seniors" be 60s and over, in line with the Senior
Railcard? Since achieving that age, I have discussed this point at a
number of transport-related (e.g. preserved railway) locations. Some
sensibly say that they leave it to the individual visitor's
discretion. The most inventive solution was at the Listowel
Monorailway, where they charged me an amount midway between the full
and reduced rates!


According to another message in this thread:-

There is an Oyster pad on the ticket counter. I didn't ask about using
it. Freedom passes get you free entry which might be what it's for.

So, for a senior with a freedom pass, is it £6.50 or free?


Always best to get it from the horses mouth:
http://www.ltmuseum.co.uk/visiting/106.aspx

"Entry fee. Adults £8, Seniors £6.50 Students;£5.00, Freedom Pass
holders and Under 16's free; Free"

So it's free entry for Freedom Pass holders, and £6.50 for "Seniors"
who don't hold a Freedom Pass (i.e. someone 60+ and not a resident of
Greater London). Whether "Seniors" are 60+ or 65+ I don't know.

There's nothing in the text that excludes disabled Freedom Pass
holders from getting free entry either.


And where is the definition of a 'Senior' which was one of the issues
raised? The original poster thinks it is 65. You are saying it is
60. The terms and conditions appear to relate to use of the website
rather than the museum itself.
