Festival Refreshment: Free Hip Pop Sodas on TPE Trains to Edinburgh this Friday

Published:

To celebrate Hip Pop sodas now being available on TransPennine Express (TPE) trains, the two brands are teaming up to give away hundreds of FREE cans to lucky passengers this Friday, 1st August.

Those wishing to bag a freebie just need to jump on the 10:04am TPE service from Manchester Airport to Edinburgh Waverley – the route where Hip Pop’s fizz-filled train takeover will be taking place.

With more than two million people heading to Edinburgh from Friday onwards for the Fringe Festival, Hip Pop is kicking off the celebrations by handing free tasters of its best-selling Pink Grapefruit Soda, fuelling festival journeys in style.

Passengers will also have the chance to win a host of exclusive festival-themed prizes throughout the day, making this a journey not to be missed.

Emma Thackray, founder of Hip Pop added:

“We’re so excited to be giving away hundreds of cans of our Pink Grapefruit Soda onboard TransPennine Express trains this Friday. 

“We can’t wait for passengers to try our refreshing, gut-friendly drink and discover a delicious, healthier alternative to traditional sodas. Plus, it’s a great way to bring a little fizz and fun to journeys up and down the country.”

Low in calories, free from artificial sweeteners, and packed with live cultures and prebiotic fibre, Hip Pop drinks are the perfect companion for long train rides.
