Petition: Fund free rail travel for Armed Forces veterans and a nominated companion We ask the Government to fund free rail travel for everyone eligible for a Veterans Railcard, replacing the one-third discount. We also ask that a veteran's nominated companion, such as a spouse or partner, be entitled to free rail travel when travelling with the veteran.

On Wednesday 2nd September 2026 We Remember Submariners were invited to attend Veterans Outreach Support Portsmouth’s drop in day. Events Coordinator Mrs Leigh Dodds hosted a table of WRS merchandise and socialised with veterans over tea and a slice of cake. They were celebrating the 125th anniversary of the submarine service with tea and cakes for a group of retired submariners. Many were already WRS members and some even wore the WRS San Juan Rugby shirt. A lovely afternoon was had by all.
