Watts Coaches in Vale of Glamorgan is the latest operator to become a FlixBus partner.
The operator initially worked with the brand in December 2024 to provide cover during the festive period but has now confirmed the arrangement will be full-time.
Watts has added five newly- Flix branded Temsa vehicles to the network to provide services linking Cardiff with London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, and Newcastle.
The business offers private hire, schools and tour services, as well as supporting repairs, PSVAR conversions and up-seating for other bus companies.
“Partnering with FlixBus has been a game-changer for us,” says Jo-Anne Watts, Director of Watts Coaches. “The technology they offer is an advanced innovation I hadn’t realised was possible; it makes operations incredibly smooth and efficient.”
“Joining the network marks the start of a fresh chapter for us, and the FlixBus team is full of energy and optimism. The future is Flix, and we’re excited to grow together.”
FlixBus UK Managing Director Andreas Schorling, adds: “We acted quickly and efficiently to integrate Watts into our network for the busy Christmas period.
“We were impressed with how rapidly the team at Watts got up to speed, moving from onboarding to on the road in just a few weeks.
“We have achieved hyper-growth since launching three years ago and will double our network again by this summer, matching incumbent operators for frequencies between key cities.
“It is only a matter of time before FlixBus becomes the UK market leader for long-distance coach travel, and we have every reason to be extremely optimistic about the future of the industry.”
