John Baron MP highlights Veterans Railcard

The Government is today launching the Veterans Railcard. This will allow the 830,000 Armed Forces veterans, who are not covered by existing discounts or railcards, up to one-third off most rail fares from 5^th November, and will also extend discounted travel to a named companion and up to four dependent children if travelling with the cardholder.

John Baron MP reacted to the announcement, which was a manifesto commitment in the 2019 general election:

“Veterans of HM Armed Forces have put themselves in harm’s way in the nation’s service, and I am pleased the Government has moved quickly to honour them and implement our manifesto pledge, and it is fitting that this is launched on the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings. I would encourage veterans to apply for this railcard and start saving.”
