Arriva North East is honouring the armed forces community by offering free bus travel for any troops, veterans and cadets on Sunday 10 November 2019.
Members of the armed forces, veterans and cadets will be able to travel on any Arriva bus service for free, enabling them to easily travel to the many Remembrance Day events taking place in the region.
Arriva North East is also helping to raise awareness of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal with the front of every bus in the region displaying a poppy in support of the charity.
Nick Knox, area managing director for Arriva North East, said: “Many of our team members are ex-service personnel and we’re proud to help raise awareness of the fantastic work of the British Legion and its annual Poppy Appeal.
“Remembrance Sunday events are important for uniting our communities and recognising the fantastic work our armed forces do. I’m delighted that we can offer free transport to these events as a mark of our thanks and respect for those who have served our country.”
Armed forces personnel who are in uniform, or able to show an identification card, can claim free travel. The offer is also open to members of the cadet forces in uniform and veterans who display valid identification, such as the MOD issued Veteran’s Badge.
