Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 06:58 · Archive

Stagecoach is offering free travel to military personnel, veterans and cadets across its UK network on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day.

Stagecoach is offering free bus travel to serving military personnel, veterans and cadets on Remembrance Sunday, 8 November, and Armistice Day, 11 November. The offer applies across the bus operator's entire UK network, except for services run by Megabus, Transport for London and the Bee Network.

Serving military personnel can access free travel by wearing their uniform or presenting a valid military ID card. Veterans can show a veteran's badge or military medal to qualify for the offer.

Simon Tramalloni, Armed Forces & Veterans Co-Lead at Stagecoach, said the offer was 'a small gesture of our immense gratitude' to the Armed Forces. He added: 'We want to make it as easy as possible for our service people, past and present, to attend remembrance services and pay respect to those who served.'

The initiative builds on Stagecoach's tradition of offering free travel to military communities on Armed Forces Day in June and previous Remembrance events. The company's commitment is supported by its Veterans Network, a colleague-led group designed to connect veterans and service family members, raise awareness and help shape the company's approach to being a more inclusive employer.

Stagecoach was awarded the Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award in 2024 in recognition of its work to support the Armed Forces community.
