Bus firm shows support for Poppy Appeal

Bus operator trentbarton is showing its support for this year’s Poppy Appeal by adorning its fleet of buses and coaches with poppies.

Poppy stickers have appeared on 300 of its vehicles in the run up to Remembrance Sunday on 12 November.

And on both Remembrance Day, which falls on Saturday 11 November and Remembrance Sunday, there will be free travel on all trentbarton services for veterans and current members of the armed forces, who should show their warrant cards, and for cadets in uniform.

The firm has also made a donation of £500 to the Ilkeston branch of the Royal British Legion.

Tom Morgan, trentbarton’s managing director, said: “The Royal British Legion does incredibly important work supporting our veterans, so we are proud to back the 2023 Poppy Appeal in such a visible way in all our communities each day.”
