Can I use my Metro consession card on London transport?I am an OAP.

I don't think so; London boroughs have their own Freedom Pass for Londoners. Somebody may be able to give you a more certain answer, though.

I can only trace a 'Metro Concession card' to Adelaide, Australia. If this is the the one, then I'm afraid you cannot use it. on TFL services.

If it is a consession card issued by your local council that gives you free travel on your local bus services, then you can. I have one issued in Suffolk and that allows me to travel on London buses (not the underground though). You can't use them in Scotland.

As JJ suggests, all bus passes issued to senior citizens by local councils in England are valid for free off-peak travel on local bus services throughout the whole of England. (Some councils allow their pass holders to travel for free outside of off-peak periods but such passes are still only valid for off-peak travel elsewhere).

Residents of London boroughs can (upon reaching the relevant age) get a 'Freedom Pass' which covers the Underground as well as buses. However bus passes from outside of London are not valid on Underground services.

If your reference to a 'Metro concession card' relates to the West Midlands Metro scheme, or to any other transport system in England, your pass will be valid on London buses but not on the Underground. But if your pass is from outside of England (even if it's from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland) it won't be valid at all.
