Nexus has announced that the Tyne and Wear Metro will be offering free travel to armed forces personnel and veterans on Remembrance Sunday.

On Sunday 11 November 2018, the Metro will offer complimentary travel across its entire network to service personnel wearing an armed forces uniform or carrying a military ID card.

A series of specially created displays are going up at Metro stations across the five boroughs of Tyne Wear.

Remember to wear your poppy with pride this year, we owe them a lot.

What did the officials say?

Customer Services Director at Nexus, Huw Lewis, said:

“We are proud to be supporting Remembrance Sunday by offering free travel to armed forces personnel and veterans.

“Offering free travel is our way of paying tribute to the men and women who have sacrificed themselves in two World Wars and later conflicts.

“This sends a clear message to our armed forces communities in Tyne and Wear that we appreciate and recognise the commitment they have made to our country over the years.”
