Building ‘the UK’s largest coach network’: FlixBus to double UK routes

One month after its relaunch on British roads on April 15, FlixBus has committed itself to further UK expansion after it promised to double the number of domestic routes across the country from May 20.

It means 40 direct routes will now make up FlixBus’s domestic UK networks, compared to 18 in April.

Eight new destinations will mean 20 cities across England and Wales are served, with Liverpool, York, Nottingham, Northampton, Warrington, Stoke-on-Trent, Chester and Bridgend joining the list. Tickets start from 99p.

Consistent growth in demand has precipitated the expansion. FlixBus’s busiest corridor, the London-Bristol route, will soon have nine daily departures in each direction. FlixBus UK Managing Director Andreas Schörling says the growth is part of a wider plan to grow the UK’s largest coach network: “People are seizing the opportunity to move around the country again and there is a great demand for a new, value for money travel alternative in the UK,” he says.

“Since we have restarted our network, we have seen a strong growth every week in the number of passengers travelling with us. Our website data shows that interest towards our domestic routes is tripling as restrictions are being removed in May.

“FlixBus has built a smart system that quickly reacts to passenger needs. We will continue to grow our offer in the UK. Our plan is to build the country’s largest coach network by 2025.”

More journeys will become available as restrictions ease. Vehicles are currently operating at half capacity.
