The rail industry is offering free train travel to serving personnel, veterans and bereaved families to attend Remembrance services in November.
The rail industry will offer free train travel to serving military personnel, veterans and bereaved families to help them attend Remembrance services in November. The scheme covers travel to the national Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in London as well as other services across the country.
This year, the offer has been extended to include one nominated next of kin of a service person who died while serving in the Armed Forces. Eligible family members can receive a Bereaved Travel for Remembrance 2026 complimentary ticket to travel on the same dates to attend a Remembrance service. The scheme also supports children and young people helped by Scotty's Little Soldiers, who have lost a parent who served in the British Armed Forces.
Ola Ogun, co-CEO of Rail Delivery Group, said: 'Remembrance gives us a chance to honour those who served and to stand alongside the people who remember them.' He added that the railway was 'proud to help serving personnel and veterans attend services across the country' and that 'extending free travel to bereaved next of kin this year will help more families be there to pay tribute to their loved ones'.
