If you lose your Senior Citycard
If you are unfortunate enough to lose your card, call the Broadmarsh Travel Centre (on the number above) and they will check to make sure it hasn't been handed in. If there is no sign of it they will issue you with a new Citycard and your old card will be made unusable. There is a £5 charge for a replacement card.
