Claims heard at Tynwald Select Committee
The loss of free tram and train travel for pensioners is a 'social injustice' according to a Manx Labour Party member.
Carol Quine says those services have become unaffordable for many people of retirement age on a fixed income.
Ms Quine was giving evidence yesterday (1 Dec) to a Tynwald select committee.

Ms Quine says poorer pensioners have been discriminated against:
