free travel for Armed Forces Day

2 weeks ago Wed 25th Jun 2025

As a thank you for your service and to help you get to various events that may be taking place as part of Armed Forces Day, on Saturday 28 June we'll be offering free travel on our buses to service personnel and veterans. 

To take advantage of this offer, simply board a bus wearing your full uniform, displaying your medals or have your veteran's badge ready to show. You can then board any Reading Buses service and also any of those on our sister company Thames Valley Buses. You can also travel for free on Newbury & District 1a, 1c and flightline 730 / 731 services. The driver will issue you a special free armed forces ticket for the journey - please make sure you get a ticket for every bus you travel on. 

We hope that this offer helps you travel to and from your events.
