FlixBus has announced the launch of eight new UK routes in time for the Easter break, with promotional tickets starting at £4.49. The long-distance coach network will exceed 100 towns and cities for the first time, marking its fifth anniversary of UK operations.
From 1 April, new destinations include Doncaster, Blackpool, Halifax, Huddersfield, and Milton Keynes. Daily services between York, Heathrow airport, and central London will also commence. Additional airport connections will link Brighton to Heathrow, and Gatwick to Leeds and Sheffield.
Shuttle services will operate from Manchester airport to Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Huddersfield, and Bradford. New connections from Bristol airport will serve Plymouth, Taunton, Cheltenham, and Exeter, while Leicester and Nottingham will gain routes to Plymouth and Bristol.
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.' She added: 'We’re offering tickets for less than a fiver to bring even more joy to travellers using our affordable, comfortable and reliable services.'
The promotional fares are available to book until 30 April for travel between 13 April and 30 June 2026. In May, FlixBus will add Colchester, Chelmsford, and Ipswich, along with more direct connections to London and Oxford from Birmingham airport. East Anglia services will be boosted with new routes between Norwich and Heathrow, and to Birmingham and Plymouth.
