RAIL operator Northern – which runs services on the Airedale line – is offering free travel today and tomorrow for service personnel.

Those wearing an armed forces uniform or carrying a military ID card, as well as cadets in uniform and veterans who display valid identification, are eligible.

Licensed poppy sellers, who have been volunteering in the lead-up to this weekend, can also take advantage of the offer.

A Northern spokesman said: "There are many Remembrance Day events taking place across our network, a number of which we are supporting.

"We want to acknowledge the contribution and sacrifices the armed forces have made by making it as easy as possible for people to attend events on this important weekend."
