West Midlands: Free bus and cheaper rail travel for Armed Forces veterans in Wolverhampton



Armed Forces veterans in Wolverhampton can now enjoy free bus travel and discounted rail travel.

Thanks to Government funding and as part of the West Midlands Bus Service Improvement Plan, Travel for West Midlands is running an incentive scheme in collaboration with local bus operators enabling unlimited free travel on all buses, all day, in the Network West Midlands area for up to 6 months.

To find out more, please email wolves.afd@wolverhampton.gov.u.

Meanwhile, a Veterans Railcard is also available, offering discounts on rail travel in England, Wales and Scotland. For further information please visit Veterans Railcard.

Separately, the free HM Armed Forces Veteran Card is a photo ID card and an easy way to prove service in the UK Armed Forces, making it quicker and easier to apply for support as a veteran.

To apply, you will need your service number, national insurance number, the approximate year you started and ended your service and a recent digital passport style photo showing your head and shoulders. For further information please go to Apply for an HM Armed Forces Veteran Card
