SIR Stephen Fry says getting his travel Freedom Pass has brought him a new dopamine hit as he has fallen in love with bus journeys.

The actor said long trips travelling through London are one of his pleasures in life and it "cheers me up".

He said: "I take a bus from quite far in North London all the way in - so it's a long journey and slow.

"It was all triggered from the fact you can now get a travel card once you are past a certain age. I sit up at the front and people are nice."
