The UK's fastest growing coach firm FlixBus is launching a new service between Glasgow and London to help travellers avoid punishing rail strikes and airport chaos - with fares from just £2.99. The new service, which commences on July 25, comes in time for the start of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which draws hundreds of thousands of comedy and arts fans to the city throughout August.
The new route will run every day until October, providing a new transport connection between England and Scotland through long-term partner McGill’s, the largest privately owned bus company in the UK. With inflation rising at the fastest rate in 40 years, consumers seeking low-cost travel can find a series of affordable ticket options.
FlixBus UK managing director Andreas Schorling said: “While airports and airlines cancel flights, we’re adding even more journeys on our reliable, eco-friendly network to ensure everyone can enjoy staycations, day trips and visit loved ones this summer without breaking the bank."
Colin Napier, group operations director at McGill’s, added: “We can see a strong appetite for sustainable travel to and from Scotland, so we’re excited to ramp up our offering in partnership with FlixBus and serve more passengers than ever before.”
The new service will connect Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, Sheffield and London and operate seven days a week. FlixBus has the largest global long distance coach network, reaching over 30 destinations across the UK. Tickets can be purchased from www.flixbus.co.uk or the FlixBus App.
