TRAVEL firm First Bus is providing a free single journey to all armed forces personnel, veterans and cadets travelling to Remembrance Sunday services.

Those in uniform who have a recognised ID badge can claim a free journey up to 1pm on Sunday.

The concession is in honour of the fallen, as well as surviving veterans.

Andrew Jarvis, managing director of First Scotland, said: “Remembrance Sunday is an important and solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by so many in our Armed Forces and this year, for the 100th anniversary, we wanted to do something to mark the occasion.

“We have a number of veterans working for First Bus and we are very proud of their efforts and sacrifice, so this is our way of saying thank-you to them, as well as honouring all men and women who choose to serve and protect the freedoms our country now takes for granted.”

“We hope this concession on our services will make it as easy as possible for as many veterans, Armed Forces personnel and cadets to attend the various Remembrance services and events to mark such a landmark anniversary.”
