A committee has been set up to investigate whether pensioners should travel for free on trains and trams.
Carol Quine, Lynn Sirdefield and Richard Halsall are petitioning government to allow those over retirement age to travel on heritage transport either for free or at a discount.
They submitted a petition for redress of grievance at Tynwald in July - the committee is made up of MHKs Bill Shimmins, Rob Callister and Julie Edge.#
they'll hear the evidence and recommend whether free travel should be reinstated.
Carol says it can be expensive to use, especially as many use it to take grandchildren out for the day:
