My FGW pass works on the Bristol International coaches and the airlink ones in Dublin. Got told to b***er off on the RDG-Heathrow ones.

Only downside however is the ability to easily defraud the bus companies by passing it round...

My FGW pass works on the Bristol International coaches and the airlink ones in Dublin. Got told to b***er off on the RDG-Heathrow ones. I tried my luck with my staff pass on the Bristol Airport coach but was told no on two occasions; haven't tried the LHR RailAir. Shall bare that one in mind though. Bad me for digressing the topic in question.. ;) Title: Re: Cardiff Bus launch IFF card Post by: eightf48544 on October 11, 2010, 15:55:39 Bad me for digressing the topic in question.. ;) Not so far off I aways thought IFF stand for Identification Friend or Foe and is fitted to RAF aircraft. It's obvious this card must be similar in that it identifies if you are a valid user on that particular bus. (Friend or Foe) Title: Re: Cardiff Bus launch IFF card Post by: JayMac on October 11, 2010, 22:58:54 Not so far off I aways thought IFF stand for Identification Friend or Foe and is fitted to RAF aircraft. You know what eightf? I was thinking much the same thing about the abbreviation IFF. Comes from playing too many combat flight simulators on my PC!
