Jacqueline Starr, executive chair and CEO at Rail Delivery Group, said: “As we celebrate 200 years of rail, it is only right that the industry reflects on the vital role it played in our nation’s war efforts.
“Today, we are proud to continue that connection by helping serving personnel, veterans, and volunteers attend the services and events that mean so much to them.”
Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander added: “Remembrance services are a vital time for our country to come together, reflecting on the sacrifices made and honouring those who continue to protect our way of life.
“Free train travel will help make it easier for veterans and serving personnel to take part in those moments of national reflection.”
The initiative also covers free travel for Royal British Legion volunteers and collectors travelling to and from London Poppy Day on Thursday, October 30, plus one day either side of the event, to any London Terminal with presentation of a Royal British Legion-issued collector’s ID card.
