The Veterans Concessionary Travel Scheme (VCTS) will start on 2 November 2008.

The concession is available to those in receipt of an ongoing payment under the War Pensions Scheme or Guaranteed Income Payment under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme. War widows, war widowers and dependants in receipt of the same payments will also be eligible.

Eligible applicants will be issued with an Oyster photocard. This will enable you to travel free at any time within London on bus, Tube, DLR, tram and London Overground services.

This scheme is of particular benefit to veterans under 60 and those who live outside London who are not eligible for a Freedom Pass.
