NatEx supports Armed Forces Day

National Express has become the first company in the UK to publicly show its support of Armed Forces Day. The operator is offering a discount for travel to the event in Stirling. Serving personnel are eligible for 60% off travel through the Defence Discount Service and for everyone else National Express is also offering 50% off all fares to Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh for travel on 27 June and 28 June with a special online offer. This will enable people to travel ahead of the celebrations, which include a parade, stalls and activities, the day before. This is the latest in a range of measures offered to the nation’s Armed Forces by the operator, which offers guaranteed job interviews for people leaving the forces with a PCV licence for its driving vacancies. MD of National Express UK Coach, Tom Stables, said, ‘Armed Forces Day is rapidly becoming a highlight of the summer calendar and we understand many people will already be thinking about their travel plans for the big day. We hope our discount makes it that bit easier for people to make the trip to Scotland affordably to show their support for our forces.’     Pic: Stirling Council Provost, Mike Robbins (wearing silver chain), with members of the Armed Forces
