Has anyone here applied for a +60 Oyster Card. It is available to those people who are 60

but do not qualifiy for a Freedom Pass due to the April 2010 dealine.


I have applied but not holding my breath.


They have acknowledged receipt of my ?10.00 admin fee.


TFL have said that my Photograph needs to be approved.


Was wondering how long it might take to come through.

Just fantasising here. . . Aidan Quinn as Carlos The Jackal in 'The Assignment' or the actual Carlos?

Hubby has 60 plus oyster card for about a year now. Well worth the ?10 fee. Since hubby was early (medically) retired he does not get any benefits only a very reduced occupational pension and the Oyster card enables him to keep in touch with friends and extended family - probably saves him around ?40 per month.

Passport arrived today (11 Days) so that's not bad.


Is a new e-passport.


Two pics inside. One is clear ? but very faint. Original was fine.

They haven't used the actual photo I sent. It is embedded into the psge with a hologram over it.


Other pic is really grainy and bearly recognizable. More like a graphic.


I'm sure it would of been checked before being sent out.


Anyone else have a new e-passport. Is yours the same. ??

    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
    • There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can. 
    • Like I thought… prob like that for most of the day.. especially after people had walked their dogs, with friends, relatives  kids…
