UK Tories give themselves free public transport

Manchester Evening News: "All delegates at the Conservative party conference in Manchester will get free tram, train and bus travel throughout the region.

They will be allowed to travel for free on public transport for the duration of next week’s conference – despite most being based in hotels close to the Manchester Central venue.

The deal has been struck between transport bosses at ‘System One’ – the company which runs Greater Manchester’s travel card system – and Conservative party bosses."
