Camden residents given the freedom to roam
23/12/2008
Older residents in Camden can get out and about for free even more in the new year, as they will be able to use their Freedom Pass 24 hours a day from 2 January.
All Camden residents over 60 are entitled to a Freedom Pass, which allows free travel on the bus, tube, docklands light railway, tram and London overground networks.
Freedom Pass users do not need to do anything, and are automatically entitled to the new concessions. However, they will still only be able to use their pass for travel during off peak hours on national rail networks in London.
The Freedom Pass in Camden is funded by Camden Council, and the additional costs for 24 hour travel will be met by Transport for London.
Camden residents can apply for a Freedom Pass once they reach 60 from post offices, or download an application form from the Council website.
