From 13 June, services operated by Cozy Travel will expand FlixBus’ UK network to include Brighton for the first time.
The Bedfordshire-based coach operator is joining the FlixBus network as part of a new partnership. Its route will connect Brighton with Gatwick Airport, London and Cambridge, offering two journeys in each direction per day. Additionally, a direct service between Cambridge and London will run four times daily.
The partnership is part of FlixBus’ ongoing growth in the UK, which aims to increase options for passengers through collaboration with regional operators.
Andreas Schorling, Senior Managing Director of FlixBus UK, said:Cozy Travel shares our drive for innovation and excellence, and their team are poised to deliver high-quality new routes as FlixBus moves forward towards market leadership.
This launch strengthens our network by adding one of the UK’s most in-demand destinations just in time for summer, bringing more affordable, sustainable and reliable travel to our growing customer base.
Cozy Travel has been operating for over 40 years as a family-run company with a long-standing presence in the coach sector.
The company will operate the newly added routes as part of FlixBus’ wider UK network, which is expected to have over 200 vehicles in service this summer.
Greg Powell, Director of Cozy Travel, said:What FlixBus has achieved in just four years is nothing short of phenomenal. We’re proud to become part of that journey and build our business with a forward-thinking brand.
We’ve spent decades building a reputation for quality and care, and we’re excited to bring our experience to Flix passengers.
This development continues FlixBus’ recent expansion efforts, aiming to offer broader access to intercity coach travel across the country.
Schorling added:Our outlook on the market is incredibly positive – we are building a network fit for the next generation of coach travellers.
