Cadbury Flake 99 Launches Free ’99’ Buss Service to Take Families To The Beach

Cadbury Flake 99 has partnered with First Bus to launch the ‘Flake 99 Bus’ – a free pre-bookable service that whisks families from city centers to sandy shores across the UK.

The service will help more families experience the magic of a seaside day trip after new research showed that 62% of parents believe that going to the beach is one of the most stressful family days out.

West Yorkshire families can book up to four places on the services departing from Leeds or Bradford and heading to the sandy shores of Bridlington. Research has revealed that almost 1 in 5 kids (19%) from Bradford and 1 in 10 from Leeds rarely get to experience the magic of the seaside.

Services will also run from Tower Hill in London to Southend-On-Sea after 59% of the capital’s parents confessed they only take their kids to the beach on rare occasions despite only being an hour from the coast.

Families can enter a ballot to book the service via a dedicated website starting today until the 25th of July, with over 300 places up for grabs. In addition to travel to and from the beach provided by First Bus, families will be greeted upon arrival at the beach with a complimentary Cadbury Flake 99.
