Remembrance 2026

Free Bus travel for Remembrance 2026

First Bus is offering free bus travel* to the Armed Forces community on Remembrance Sunday (8 November) and Armistice Day (Wednesday 11 November) 2026. As a thank you to serving personnel, veterans and cadets, we’re providing free travel* across our bus network on both days to help you attend commemorative events and pay your respects.

Who can travel for free?

• Members of the Armed Forces in uniform or wearing medals
• Members of the Armed Forces who present a valid identification card
• Members of the Cadet Forces in uniform
• A veteran displaying valid identification such as the MOD-issued Veteran’s Badge or wearing medals.

Supporting the Armed Forces community

Our support continues beyond Remembrance. First Bus has joined Heroes Network, an initiative from Help for Heroes, to support former Armed Forces colleagues and their families as they build civilian careers.
