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'...

Or too expensive. Which is what these Over 60 passes are. I am
appalled that my local services are going to have to be cut (and
it's going to be worse in seaside towns) to fund these passes which
my local council is going to be short by about £1 Million.

They either need to be scrapped, or introduced on a means tested
basis.
