RE: Flixbus UK
Not looking good for BM Coaches as they trying to say coaches are PSVAR compliant and they are looking into how they had a coach in there colours that was not PSVAR

Further changes to the network starting on Thursday, main news being a new route added London to Leeds (calling at Meadowhall) with minor changes to 023 London-Manchester. V3 schedule attached.

Now added, Flixbus will be serving Liverpool One from next week on a new route linking Liverpool, Birmingham and London.

RE: Flixbus UK
Well that did not last long. They have pulled off all routes apart from Bristol to London. Looks like BM coaches and friends ran out of money.

Thandi TT21NDY was noted in Shudehill Bus Station yesterday by a friend of mine, showing "023 Manchester via London" on its destination display. It is believed that Turner's of Bristol are another operator running for Flixbus, but BM Coaches appear not to be involved this time.

Current services are run by Whippet ( Yorkshire services , Turners West of England , Linburg. East Midlands, Thandi Birmingham / Manchester , and also, they have partnership with Stagecoach Jet 747 / Arriva Greenline 757 / RATP Air Decker

RE: Flixbus UK
For anyone who really wants to buy a single ticket in advance, Arriva are now selling bus tickets via Flixbus for the airport buses in Liverpool. Not sure how pleased I would be to turn up at the bus stop to then find out that I was being put on a normal service bus rather than a coach or higher spec bus.


Additional partnerships seem to now be Oxford Bus Company on their Airline route.
