Plusbus and disabled railcard

[JamesT]

I'm going to be making a trip into London with a friend who holds a Disabled Railcard. To save on the bus fares to get to and from the station, I'm thinking of adding PlusBus for the Oxford end.

On the train, the companion must be accompanying the disabled person for the tickets to be valid. Does this extend to the bus as well? We'll be starting from different places and I was intending just to meet at the station.

Will the ticket be valid on the bus? Is the bus driver likely to care?

Does this extend to the bus as well?

Yes, it does.

Will the ticket be valid on the bus?

For the passenger without the railcard? No.

Is the bus driver likely to care?

It's difficult to say but is it worth a saving of a pound or so for the risk of getting a keen and knowledgeable one?
