Trams like Croydon, Midland Metro, Manchester Metrolink, T&W Metro and
so on seem unlikely to me to accept them.


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?


Interesting question Ian, down here in south Hampshire what limited 'local
rail network' there is would have to be a joint effort between Hants CC,
Portsmouth, and Southampton, as the latter are unitary authorities. I
suspect any proposal will be swiftly filed under 'too difficult'...
