If you have a non-London ENCTS bus pass it used to be the case that it could be used at any time but I noticed this on the London Councils website at www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/freedompass/faqs/nationalscheme.htm
Is it the case that validity for anyone living outside London has now changed and TfL now only allow non-London passes to be used at the times set by the national rules (0930 to 2300 Monday to Friday and any time at weekends or public holidays)? It's strange that that acceptance of the passes at other times would be at the discression of the operator since in London the operators do not set the fares. The TfL website says that the passes are valid on most buses not show the roundel (at the times set by the national rules) but for buses displaying the roundel it just says the passes are valid and does not list any time restrictions.

Please check with the operators you wish to travel with.
