Cornish Pasty and Wesleydale Cheese flavoured sweets are being given away as a coach operator celebrates travel getting back to normal.

National Express says its tins of travel sweets are an homage to the simple pleasures of travel and the staple of many a journey for generations.

Each sweet tastes of a classic dish that is synonymous with a British city or region that can be visited using the network.

You’ll probably have never come across these six flavours in boiled sweet form:

? Cornish pasty (Cornwall, of course)

? Fish and chips (Margate or Blackpool)

? Curry - in honour of Birmingham, the home of the Balti triangle and National Express itself

? Pork pie - the classic British snack from Leicestershire, home of the Melton Mowbray pork pie

? Wensleydale cheese and cranberry - a nod to Yorkshire and popular destinations such as Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford.

? Eccles cake – the only ‘sweet’ sweet in the tin, representing Greater Manchester.

Chris Hardy, managing director of National Express UK Coach, said: “We suspended all services for 11 weeks at the beginning of the year so we’re delighted to now be back on the road.

“Cornish pasty and fish and chips might not be the kind of flavours anyone would expect to taste in boiled sweet form, but each confectionary celebrates the wonderful diversity of the UK."

The sweets are not for sale but will be given away to the public via National Express social media channels.
