First Bus are offering free bus travel across the entire network including the Vantage service operated on the guided busway from Leigh and Atherton to Manchester Royal Infirmary this Thursday 11th November and Remembrance Sunday 14th November to serving Armed Forces personnel, cadets, and veterans to help them attend commemorative events.

To claim free travel, all current and former military personnel will need to wear their uniform or medals or show their military ID card when boarding the bus.

First drivers may also pull over to honour the two-minute silence at 11am on Remembrance Day, 11th November and Remembrance Sunday, 14th November where it is safe for them to do so.
