Happy #WorldCarFreeDay 🙌
All year round, #CommunityRail works to encourage more people to embrace greener, inclusive travel 🚵🚄
Ditch the car and choose the train, bus, tram, walking, wheeling and cycling - it means better connected communities with healthier futures 💚

For Remembrance weekend, travel costs shouldn't stand in the way.
This year, free rail travel is being extended to eligible bereaved military families, recognising their central place in our national acts of remembrance and helping ensure that the cost of travel is never a barrier to attending moments of reflection, commemoration and tribute.
Alongside this new provision, serving personnel and veterans continue to benefit from free travel on national rail services to attend Remembrance services and events.
Apply by 16 October to secure your ticket.
