Rebecca shares update on petition to protect the Veterans and Armed Forces Railcard

Sign our petition to protect the Veterans and Armed Forces Railcards!

You may remember that several months ago, I launched my petition to protect the Veterans and Armed Forces Railcard. Since then, well over 1,000 people have signed, which shows just how strongly people feel about this.

Thanks to your support, this campaign is already making an impact. The Conservative Party has confirmed this week that a future Conservative government will protect the Veterans Railcard in law.

But there’s more to do. The Labour Government has repeatedly voted against putting these railcards into law, leaving their future uncertain.

If like me, you believe these railcards should be permanently protected in law, please sign and share the petition here and help us keep the pressure on.
