Good afternoon, I am a serving police officer for Thames Valley Police. I was under the impression that I am entitled to free travel on TFL as long as I show my warrant card. However, at the barrier I have been informed that it is only if you are a serving Metropolitan police officer. Please can you clarify this for me. Kind Regards
