Serving military, veterans, and cadets are being offered free national travel with Stagecoach East Midlands.

The Skegness bus operator has announced the free travel will be available on its bus services on Remembrance Sunday, 8th November, and Armistice Day, Wednesday 11th November.

“The offer applies to any serving military or cadet in uniform, those with a military ID card, and veterans wearing medals or badges, attending remembrance services,” a spokesperson for the firm said.

Matt Cranwell, Managing Director of Stagecoach East Midlands, added: “Remembrance Day and Armistice Day are significant occasions that are close to the hearts of many of our colleagues and customers, and we are very pleased to be making this commitment that will, hopefully, help people attend memorials across the UK.

“We have thousands of ex-forces colleagues working across our business, and our Veterans Network allows us to build on the work Stagecoach has led over many years to identify how else we can support those veterans already working for us and those that may want to come and join the company.
