New Open-Top Bus Service For Bridlington

 
Bridlington now has an open-top bus service running seven days a week through to September 7th.

It was launched recently by local celeb, Brendan Sheerin, best known for hosting television’s Coach Trip.

The new open-top, hop-on, hop-off bus service, aptly named, the Bridlington Explorer, takes visitors on a scenic route of the sights in and around the area.

From the seafront to the historic Old Town, the tour gives visitors the opportunity to see all the iconic seaside destination has to offer.

Visitors will have the opportunity to learn all about the area’s historic sights, developments and beautiful wildlife thanks to six, short audio stories played whilst onboard.

Tickets are priced at £5 for adults, with concessions just £2, and family tickets (of four) available for just £12 - making it a perfect day our for all the family!

Funded by the Yorkshire Coast BID, the project aims to protect and promote the Yorkshire coast, whilst highlighting and connecting the town.
Speaking on the launch of the Bridlington Explorer, Brendan Sheerin commented: “I think the Bridlington Explorer is brilliant! It’s so nice that Bridlington has this place where you can hop on and hop off and see all the amazing sights.

"I’d encourage everyone to go down and give the Bridlington Explorer a go. As a Yorkshire man myself, I’m delighted to support this and help launch the new service.”

The Bridlington Explorer will run hourly, allowing guests to hop on and off as they please, to ensure everyone gets the chance take part in the tour.

Information is available on the EY Buses App where you can get the up-to-date information about the Bridlington Explorer and follow updates on loveyorkshirecoast.co.uk.
