FlixBus is expanding its partnership with Stockport-based operator, Belle Vue, who will add three new Yutong coaches to its FlixBus fleet in 2024.
This expansion builds on FlixBus’ initial partnership with Belle Vue which provides a daily service between Manchester, Leeds, Middlesborough, Sunderland and Newcastle.
Building on the success of this service, the expansion will now allow for additional coach services between Manchester and York, Birmingham and Leicester.
Managing Director of FlixBus UK, Andreas Schorling said:Belle Vue has delivered exceptional quality on our network, alongside an entrepreneurial and ambitious approach from Phil and the entire team. We are delighted to expand our partnership and are looking forward to working together for decades to come.
FlixBus sets out to build partnerships that last and we are delighted that as a key operator, Belle Vue is keen to expand with us, and drive forward our mission to become the largest express coach network in the UK.
Belle Vue will add the three new FlixBus-branded Yutong vehicles to its fleet in Spring 2024.
This will further advance FlixBus’ ongoing and rapid expansion across the UK.
Managing Director of Belle Vue Phil Hitchen said:The strength of our partnership with the FlixBus team is unmatched, and we have been keen to expand our relationship with them based on the excellent results we’ve seen so far.
There is a revolution in express coach services happening with FlixBus here in the UK, and it’s exciting to be part of the forward-thinking brand shaping the future of the industry.
