New Glasgow to London summer bus launching with fares at just £3

A new summer bus route between Glasgow and London is launching this month ahead of next week's rail strikes.

Coach operator FlixBus announced the new service will be introduced on July 25 "to help consumers make the most of their summer while avoiding rail strikes and airport chaos". It also comes ahead of the launch of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival next week, which will bring hundreds of thousands of tourists to Scotland.

The new route will operate seven days a week between July and October. For those struggling financially amid the worsening cost of living crisis, it offers a far more affordable mode of transport than travelling by rail or plane.
