Supertram supports Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day 2025 with free travel

Serving members of the Armed Forces and veterans can get free travel across South Yorkshire’s Supertram network.

As the country reflects on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, it’s important for us to give thanks to those who risk their lives for our country, both then and now.

As a small token of our respect and gratitude, we will be offering free travel on Sunday 9 November and Tuesday 11 November to: 

  • Armed Forces personnel in uniform or presenting a Military ID card
  • Ministry of Defence-issued ID card (MOD90)
  • Veterans wearing medals, a veterans badge or showing a veterans id card. ·
  • Any other official documentation proving status as a serving member or veteran.

Serving armed forces personnel and veterans just have to show their relevant, badge, uniform or ID to a conductor onboard a tram to secure free travel.

Oliver Coppard, Mayor of South Yorkshire, said:
“Remembrance and Armistice Day are moments for us to pause, reflect, and offer our gratitude to those who have served and sacrificed protecting our country. We’re once again offering free travel to our veterans and serving Armed Forces personnel on Supertram, alongside some of our bus operators in South Yorkshire who are doing the same, as just one small way of saying thank you for that service. That offer is about dignity, respect, and making sure those who’ve given so much can attend services without any barriers or additional costs.”

Nigel Wragg, Commercial Manager at Supertram, said:
“We are proud to honour all who served our country as well as those who currently serve. “By offering free Supertram travel, we hope to support veterans and serving Armed Forces personnel attend local events.” Our tram drivers reserve the right to observe the 2-minute silence at 11am on both days, if safe to do so, so we kindly ask for your patience on board should this affect your journey. As always, our trams will proudly display their poppies on the front and rear.

Plan your journey.

Both First Bus and Stagecoach have also advised that members of the armed forces and veterans will be able to travel for free on Sunday 9 and Tuesday 11 November.
