"This is our ongoing commitment to the wider armed forces community and a privilege to honour those serving personnel, veterans, cadets and their families. This is the least we could do to honour those that serve and represent the armed forces community.”

Armed Forces Day takes place on June 29 and is a chance for the public to show support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community.

The commitment to free travel for the Armed Forces is supported by Stagecoach’s employee-led Veterans Network, which helps influence business decisions and introduce new ways of working to make the company even stronger.

Stagecoach also offers free bus travel every year for veterans and military personnel on Remembrance Day and Remembrance Sunday.

The travel company has been a member of the Armed Force Covenant since March 2015, recognising the value of serving personnel, regular and reservists, veterans and military families to both the country and businesses across the country.
