Harrogate bus firm moving gesture to support those who serve

The Harrogate Bus Company remembering those serving.

The Harrogate Bus Company are offering free travel for two remembrance days for current and former Forces personnel.

The bus firm is to provide free travel on Remembrance Sunday (10 November 2024), and on Remembrance Day (Monday 11 November 2024) to all current service personnel with forces ID, and to veterans in uniform or with their medals. 

As well as frequent local services in and around Harrogate and Knaresborough, the company’s buses link Ripon, Harrogate and Wetherby with Leeds, and also provide rural bus routes between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge, and Knaresborough and Boroughbridge. 

Parent firm Transdev’s Managing Director Henri Rohard said:

“As many veterans and their families continue to face financial challenges, it’s more important than ever that we offer our support wherever we can. 

He added,

“We want to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom, and to support those living with the impact of conflict today.  

All our teams at our depots across the North are supporting us with this, and together we will honour the service of Forces personnel past and present.” 

On both Remembrance days, where it is safe to do so, the company’s buses will pause at 11am to observe two minutes’ silence in memory of those who gave their lives in defending our nation.
