The feelgood factor of Burnham’s bus fare cap | Letters
[]
The Guardian
In 1950s Liverpool, the corporation had a scheme for schoolchildren in the holidays whereby they could buy a “penny return” to anywhere on the tram network.
I remember on one occasion being on the tram when a rather tall boy asked for a penny return.
And by the way, this was of course the old penny, of which there were 240 to the pound sterling.

Jennifer KennerleyNorwichDear Andy Burnham, please provide Shropshire with a comprehensive bus service so that residents can benefit from the £2 cap on bus fares.
