Help to travel to a new home in the UK- extended
Ukrainian evacuees arriving in the UK continue to be offered one free journey to reach their final destination
over 2,900 Ukrainian evacuees have benefitted from the scheme, so far
this scheme makes the incredibly difficult journey for evacuees fleeing Ukraine, in some part, easier
The Transport Secretary has today (18 December 2022) announced the extension of a travel scheme helping Ukrainian evacuees reach safety in the UK.
For a further 6 months, the free onward travel scheme will continue to grant all Ukrainian evacuees arriving in the UK one free journey either by rail, coach, tube or bus to reach their final destination.
The Department for Transport is working closely with operators to ensure support for Ukrainian arrivals is in place across the country.
The scheme is providing vital support to those who need it the most and today’s extension means passengers will continue to be protected should the situation in Ukraine escalate any further.
