Free travel for military personnel on Isle of Wight Armed Forces Day

We are offering free travel for current and veteran military personnel on Sunday 25 June to mark Isle of Wight Armed Forces Day.

“People on the Isle of Wight are rightfully proud of our country’s military - as is our team here,” said Southern Vectis managing director, Andrew Wickham. “As part of this community, we are keen to show our support for servicemen and women.

“The work our troops have done in the past, and still do now, in unimaginably hostile war zones is incredibly humbling. And we want to recognise their efforts even in this small way to help them travel to events or to see family and friends on Isle of Wight Armed Forces Day.

“On Sunday 25 June, we welcome all those wearing their military uniform, displaying medals, or showing their military ID card on board our buses, and they may travel for free with us all day.”
