Edinburgh Trams are the latest tram operator in the UK to confirm that they will be offering free travel to members of the armed services to event on Remembrance Sunday (10th November) and Armistice Day (Monday 11th November).
To claim the free travel on either day, veterans and serving members of the Army, Navy and Air Force can show their military ID or wear their uniform.
Edinburgh Trams services will also stop safely at 1100 on both days to observe the traditional two minutes silence.
And the operator are also donating £500 to the Scottish Poppy Appeal to help the Armed Forces community to access life-changing support.
Lea Harrison, Edinburgh Trams’ Managing Director, said: “As a veteran myself, I am immensely proud to see how our business continues to show respect for all men and women who paid the ultimate price throughout the years while serving our country.
“Many of our colleagues are former servicemen and strongly committed to acknowledging the heroism of military personnel, both past and present, and thus we display specially designed poppies in tram windows in the lead-up to the remembrance events.”
