Military veterans of every generation will soon benefit from cut-price rail travel, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps announced today (14 October 2020), as he presented Captain Sir Tom Moore with the very first Veterans Railcard.

Aimed at supporting veterans post-service, the unveiled railcard will provide up to a third off all peak and off-peak fares, as well as discounted travel for adult companions and children.

The government said that it forms part of its commitment to make this country the best place to be a veteran, helping repay the debt we all owe to those who have served.
