ARMED forces veterans can travel for free on some Swindon bus services this Saturday.
The Swindon Bus Company says it is making the deal as a mark of respect on Armed Forces Day for those who have fought for their country. To claim free travel, you'll need to have your military ID or be wearing your uniform.
Andrew Wickham, the firm's managing director, said: “People in this region are rightfully proud of our country’s military - as is our team here in Swindon.
"As part of this community, we are keen to show our support for servicemen and women.
“The work our troops have done in the past, and still do now, in unimaginably hostile war zones is incredibly humbling. And we want to recognise their efforts even in this small way to help them travel to events or to see family and friends on Armed Forces Day.
“On Saturday June 29, we welcome all those wearing their military uniform, displaying medals, or showing their military ID card on board our buses, and they may travel for free with us all day."
