For military personnel and veterans attending Remembrance events, the special travel arrangements are as follows:
Free travel will be offered to serving military personnel and veterans attending the Submariners’ Remembrance Service on Saturday 1 November and the Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph on Sunday 9 November.
For those attending the Submariners’ Remembrance Service, free travel is allowed to any London Terminal station on either Saturday 1 or Sunday 2 November and returning from any London Terminal on Sunday 2 November only.
For those attending the Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph, free travel is allowed to any London Terminal station on either Saturday 8 or Sunday 9 November and returning from any London Terminal on Sunday 9 November only.

This offer is open to serving military personnel and veterans.
Free travel is allowed for current serving Armed Forces personnel in uniform. Free travel is also allowed for serving military personnel and veterans who are not in uniform and can produce the following:
