Free Remembrance buses for forces personnel

A BUS giant is offering free travel for past and present Armed Forces personnel this Remembrance Sunday.

Stagecoach is supporting the British Legion Poppy Appeal by offering free travel to Armed Forces personnel carrying a military ID card, veterans wearing the veteran’s badge, and their families on November 10.

Veterans and military servicemen and women can use the free bus offer to attend processions and services throughout the Highlands, Moray and Aberdeenshire.

Daniel Laird, commercial director of Stagecoach Bluebird, said: "We are always proud to be supporting Remembrance Sunday, and this year we want to say a big thank-you to all our Armed Forces who have served, sacrificed and changed our world.

"Through our support we hope we can send a clear message to our Armed Forces communities in Aberdeenshire and Moray that we appreciate and recognise the commitment they have made to our country over the years."

Stagecoach Group signed up to the MoD’s Armed Forces Corporate Covenant, and as such pledges to recognise the contribution of serving personnel – regular and reservists, veterans and military families.
