FlixBus is working with partner McGill’s Buses to launch a new temporary service between Glasgow and London.
The route anticipates increased demand over the summer. It will run every day until October to help customers avoid rail strikes and “airport chaos”, and is being launched in time for the start of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival which is set to run from 5-29 August.
“While airports and airlines cancel flights, we’re adding even more journeys on our reliable, eco-friendly network to ensure everyone can enjoy staycations, day trips and visit loved ones this summer without breaking the bank,” comments FlixBus UK Managing Director Andreas Schorling.
Adds Colin Napier, Group Operations Director at McGill’s: “We can see a strong appetite for sustainable travel to and from Scotland, so we’re excited to ramp up our offering in partnership with FlixBus and serve more passengers than ever before.”
