The offer, announced by Glasgow’s ‘largest’ bus operator, applies to Remembrance Sunday on November 10 and Armistice Day on November 11.

To be eligible for a free return journey, veterans and military personnel can either wear their military uniform or show their Service ID card to the bus driver.

First Bus has a strong connection with the Armed Forces community, with ‘large’ numbers of veterans now employed by the company.

Graeme Macfarlan, commercial director for First Bus Scotland, said: “Remembrance Sunday is an important and solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by so many in our Armed Forces and we wanted to do something to mark the occasion.

“We have a number of veterans working for First Bus across our Glasgow depots and we’re very proud of their efforts and sacrifice.

“This is our way of saying thank you to them, as well as honouring all men and women who choose to serve and protect the freedoms our country now takes for granted.”

The bus operator is doing this as a way of expressing gratitude to those who have served or are currently serving the country.

First Bus also has a war memorial garden at its Glasgow Caledonia depot, paying tribute to former tram operators who lost their lives in the First World War.

The garden has four memorials, including a freestanding monument dedicated to workers from the city’s Whitevale tram depot.

This is surrounded by three plaques in memory of workers from the city’s Newlands, Dennistoun and Langside depots.

All four memorials are originally from Glasgow’s tram depots, which supported the operation of one of the largest tram networks in Britain at the time of the First World War.

The first motorbuses were introduced in Glasgow in 1924 and gradually replaced trams until 1962, when the last Glasgow tram service operated.
