FlixBus Partners with Additional Coach Operators to Expand UK Network

FlixBus has expanded its partnerships with McGill and Berrys Coaches and has announced new partnerships with Stanley Travel and Bouden Coach Travel to offer additional low-cost coach services across its UK network.

Stanley Travel joined the FlixBus network on 25 May to deliver daily services between Newcastle, Leeds, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Manchester.

The company is the first DVSA Earned Recognition operator to partner with FlixBus, meaning it is held to high driver and vehicle standards and undergoes comprehensive regulatory checks.

Andreas Schorling, Managing Director of FlixBus UK said: We are thrilled to welcome Stanley Travel to the FlixBus network. Their glowing reputation among the industry is well-deserved, and we have seen their commitment to delivering excellence in operations through their accolades and achievements. Stanley already has strong relationships with some of our other key partners, and it’s fantastic to see our network of operators supporting each other. We are building a team of ambitious quality-focused operators that share our vision of building the largest coach network in the UK.

Additional coach services have also commenced on 25 May thanks to FlixBus’ new partnership with Bouden Coach Travel, which will provide a daily service between Birmingham and London.

This partnership will see Bouden add one of its existing 59-seater Irizar i6s to the FlixBus network, rebranded in the Flix green.

Adel Bouden, Managing Director of Bouden Coach Travel said: As a relatively modern company, having just celebrated our 10th birthday, we see joining the FlixBus network as an opportunity to work with another forward-thinking company offering a fresh approach to a traditional industry. The coach industry has been in need of an overhaul for some time, and I think the pandemic has created an opportunity for change. FlixBus’ technology makes coach travel more easily accessible for all, as well as more appealing for younger generations.

FlixBus is also launching new cross-country lines with long-term partner McGill’s today (25 May) between Dundee and Bristol.

This route will provide more services from Perth, Dunfermline, Edinburgh, Manchester and Birmingham, and will add Carlisle as a new destination on the network.

With this expanded partnership, additional lines will also begin to and from Perth Bus Station, connecting passengers to Glasgow, Stirling and Perth Park and Ride, as well as Edinburgh and Dunfermline.

Furthermore, FlixBus has also recently doubled its partnership with Berrys Coaches to launch a new route between Taunton and Newcastle, with connections in Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, Bristol University of West England (UWE) and Bristol city centre.

These recent network expansions means that the company now serves 50 destinations across England, Scotland and Wales.

Schorling added: Overwhelming demand for FlixBus services has shown the strength of our strategy since entering the UK express coach market. We saw 190% increase in passengers in Q1 of 2023 compared to the same period last year and we are doubling the size of the network. Network growth continues apace, and we have big plans for the summer months as we deliver on our mission to become the market leader.

Stanley Travel Joins FlixBus UK Network

by Nicole Lumley | May 18, 2023 | Modes , Popular , Press Releases

Press release provided by  Flixbus

Green coach brand FlixBus has announced a new partner, earned recognition operator Stanley Travel joining its UK network on 25 May.

Delivering daily services between Newcastle, Leeds, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Manchester, the high-quality family-owned operator is the latest in a long line of coach firms expanding FlixBus routes across the country.

Established in 1961, family-run Stanley Travel originally began as a taxi firm and has built a strong reputation over decades.

The operation is now in its 3 rd generation of management by the Scott family and is still based in Stanley in County Durham.

In recent years, Stanley Travel has focused investment on coaches for private hire, as well as contractual work with local schools and colleges, sports teams, and local Universities.

This diversification was the key to their success pre-pandemic, through which the company came out even stronger. Stanley Travel says joining the FlixBus network enhances its diversification strategy and gives more balance to its operation.

Stanley Travel’s Transport Manager Gavin Scott commented: “We know the value of spreading risk, particularly after the COVID years. That’s what initially attracted us to FlixBus express work, offering another string to our bow in terms of revenue. The team at FlixBus truly listened to us and did everything to make this work for Stanley Travel as well as themselves.”

The company is the first DVSA Earned Recognition operator on the FlixBus network, which holds organisation to high driver and vehicle standards. The scheme requires robust compliance regimes with strict safety regulations and frequent regulatory checks.

Stanley Travel is also part of the Guild of British Coach Operators, the association of quality coach companies.

Andreas Schorling, Managing Director of FlixBus UK said: “We are thrilled to welcome Stanley Travel to the FlixBus network. Their glowing reputation among the industry is well-deserved, and we have seen their commitment to delivering excellence in operations through their accolades and achievements. “Stanley already has strong relationships with some of our other key partners, and it’s fantastic to our network of operators supporting each other. We are building a team of ambitious quality-focused operators that share our vision of building the largest coach network in the UK.”

Throughout 2022, more than 60 million passengers in 40 countries on four continents travelled with the Flix group, which includes FlixBus, FlixTrain, Greyhound in North America and Kamil Koç in Türkiye.

Gavin added: “I see FlixBus as where Amazon were 10 years ago; anyone who got involved in the early stages is now reaping the rewards. The innovative technology behind FlixBus, which is unlike anything else we’ve seen in the industry, and their success within other markets. FlixBus has entered UK to stay, on a mission to overtake established market players. We are impressed by this vision and can see the rapid growth already delivering on their ambition.”
