FlixBus has announced the launch of eight new UK routes ahead of the Easter break, with promotional fares starting at £4.49. The long-distance coach operator will expand its network to over 100 towns and cities for the first time, marking its fifth anniversary of operations in the UK.
From 1 April, new destinations include Doncaster, Blackpool, Halifax, Huddersfield and Milton Keynes. Additional services will connect York with Heathrow Airport and central London, while Brighton gains a direct link to Heathrow. New airport connections also include Gatwick to Leeds and Sheffield, and Manchester Airport to Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Huddersfield and Bradford.
Bristol Airport will see new routes to Plymouth, Taunton, Cheltenham and Exeter, while Leicester and Nottingham will be linked to both Plymouth and Bristol. In May, further expansion will add Colchester, Chelmsford and Ipswich, along with direct connections from Birmingham Airport to London and Oxford. East Anglia services will be boosted with Norwich to Heathrow, Birmingham and Plymouth.
The promotional fares are available to book until 30 April for travel between 13 April and 30 June 2026. Sarah Bartlett, PR Lead for FlixBus UK, said: 'Five years ago, we set out with a bold ambition to revolutionise coach travel, and with a network of over 100 destinations, it’s clear passengers have fallen in love with FlixBus. We’re offering tickets for less than a fiver to bring even more joy to travellers using our affordable, comfortable and reliable services.'
