In Greater Manchester, the over-60s travel pass is certainly accepted
on Metrolink, as well as on trains within the GMPTE area.


Yes but only for Great Manchester residents. Similarly West Midlands
O60s get Midland Metro and West Midlands Local Rail, ditto Merseyside,
South and West Yorkshire, etc. and so on give benefits beyond bus only
travel to their O60s. Those benefits don't (generally) extend beyond
the resident's own county, though.

Does any shire county offer O60s free rail travel?
