“South Western Railway is happy to continue to offer free travel to service personnel, cadets and veterans to attend Remembrance Sunday events. By making it easier for people to attend these events, we can help to honour the sacrifice that so many have made over the years. Many of our SWR colleagues come from a service background and so this is particularly important to us”.
