Chiltern Railways, alongside the rest of the rail industry, is offering free travel for serving military personnel and veterans to attend Remembrance Day services this weekend.

If serving military personnel or veterans are travelling into London to attend Services of Remembrance, free travel on Chiltern Railways services to London Marylebone will be available on either Saturday 9 November or Sunday 10 November. 

Free return travel from London will be available on Sunday 10 November only.

For those travelling to attend a service of Remembrance outside of London, free return travel on Chiltern will be available on Sunday 10 November only.

The offer is open to serving military personnel in uniform or in possession of a current MOD90 Ministry of Defence-issued identity card.  

Veterans travelling on these dates will need to show a Veterans Railcard, Veterans Oyster card, MOD-issued Veterans ID or other appropriate proof of service. 

Michael Stewart, Commercial and Customer Strategy Director at Chiltern Railways, said:

“We are proud to offer free rail travel for military personnel and veterans who wish to pay tribute on Saturday and Sunday.

“Helping with travel for military personnel and veterans this weekend is vitally important so that the armed forces community can pay their respects more easily.”
