Veterans travel free with Go North West

Go-Ahead-owned Go North West is offering free travel on its buses for serving members of the armed forces and veterans on Remembrance Day (11 November) and on Remembrance Sunday (14 November).

To travel for free on these dates, all veterans and current forces personnel need to do is to show their forces ID to the driver, or wear their military uniform when travelling.

At 11am on Thursday 11 and Sunday 14 November, Go North West buses will also pull over to observe the national two-minute silence, with customers invited to join bus drivers in doing so.

“We are proud to have many ex-military personnel working with us here at Go North West and in the wider bus industry” – Matt Harrison, Marketing and Communications Manager at Go North West

Matt Harrison, Marketing and Communications Manager at Go North West, said: “We are proud to have many ex-military personnel working with us here at Go North West and in the wider bus industry. As the nation prepares to pause to honour those who fought for our freedom, we hope that by offering free travel to serving forces and veterans, we can help to bring people closer together as we get ready to remember and reflect.”
