Andreas Schorling, Managing Director of FlixBus UK, said: “Besides building our network within the UK, we also find it important to keep Britain and continental Europe well connected and provide affordable and sustainable mobility opportunities.”
Internationally, passengers can travel without stopover to Lille, Brugge, Liege, Antwerp, Brussels, Maastricht, Rotterdam, The Hague or Amsterdam.
Thanks to the recent network expansion within the UK, cross-border and domestic FlixBus journeys can now be combined.
To serve long-distance travellers, the company also introduced new direct routes between London Heathrow Airport and several UK cities, such as Reading, Bristol, Cardiff, Bridgend, Swansea, Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Bradford and Leeds. The Heathrow-Bristol route is served up to six times daily.
