SOUTH Western Railway is offering free travel for serving troops, veterans and cadets on Remembrance Day.

Armed forces personnel will be able to travel on any South Western Railway service for free on November 11, allowing travel to local Remembrance events and the Cenotaph in London for the main national commemoration.

They just need to be in uniform or able to show an identification card with their branch of the military stated.

The offer is also open to members of the cadet forces in uniform and veterans who display valid identification, such as the MoD-issued Veterans’ Badge.

Alan Penlington, South Western Railway customer experience director, said: “A significant number of our team come from a service background and are pleased to honour the armed forces with this offer of free travel.”
