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?

There was a bit in North Wales, wasn't there?

Wales might well do (being now a Wales-wide system), I'm not sure.

Although I didn't make it clear in the question, I was posing the
question regarding England, as that's where the new pass arrangements
are about to come into force.
