Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 15 June 2022 asking for information about discounted travel for disabled passengers.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.
If you are disabled and are a London resident, you can apply for a Freedom Pass, which is issued by your local London Borough. Further information can be found here - https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/freedom-pass
If you are not a London resident, but have been issued with an English National Concessionary Pass, you can use it to travel free on all London buses.
If you have a Disabled Person’s Railcard, available from National Rail stations and at https://www.railcard.co.ukyou can have the details of this added to your Oyster card at any TfL station (Tube, London Overground, Elizabeth line except stations between Langley and Reading), at one of our Visitor Centres (except at Gatwick Airport) or at an Oyster Ticket Stop. This discount gives 1/3 off off-peak fares and daily caps on Tube, DLR, London Overground, Elizabeth line and National Rail services in London.
