"I have heard that each Freedom Pass costs Wandsworth £500 a year." Where did you hear that?  It seems way above the figures I saw on various sites. Jouneys on Oyster cards are centrally recorded (not on the card itself I believe) so that people can check what they've been charged.  I'm not sure if there is a similar record of travel on a Freedom Pass, but I agree that it would enable more accurate setting of the charges that the boroughs pay.  There has been a lot of argument from the boroughs about the annual charge for a Freedom Pass, partly because if they fail to agree with TfL, the Mayor of London can just impose what he thinks is fair.  The boroughs have lobbied the government for a change in the law, but I'm not aware of any change yet.
