Free bus travel is being offered by Stagecoach to military personnel, service families, veterans and cadets as part of Armed Forces Day celebrations.

The gesture applies across its network and will be available on June 27 and 28, during Armed Forces Day weekend.

Marc Reddy, managing director of Stagecoach South, said: "Our Armed Forces have given so much to protect our country, and offering free travel over this weekend is just a small gesture of our immense gratitude.

"We want to make it as easy as possible for our service people, past and present, to attend local events and celebrate with their communities.

"Through our Veterans Network, we are dedicated to ensuring Stagecoach remains a deeply supportive environment for the military community, both as passengers and as valued colleagues."

Serving military personnel can access free travel by wearing their uniform or showing a valid military ID, while veterans should present a veteran’s badge or military medal.

It covers all services except Megabus, Transport for London (TfL) routes and the Bee Network.

Stagecoach has been a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant since March 2015 and received the Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award in 2024 for its support of the military community.
