Accessible travel

For more information see our accessible travel within Greater Manchester section.

Renew a concessionary pass from TfGM

We will only write to you about renewing your pass if we need more information from you before renewing. If we do not need to check anything with you, we will automatically send a new pass in the post which should arrive about a week before your old pass expires.

If you’ve paid to add tram and train for a year and your concessionary pass expires, or you lose it, and are sent a new one before the end of that year, your tram and train add on will be transferred automatically and ready to use.

If you change address it is your responsibility to inform TfGM. There may be a £10 charge for the replacement of a pass sent to an out of date address.
