Stockport-based Belle Vue is expanding its partnership with FlixBus.

Belle Vue will add three Yutongs to the FlixBus network in 2024, offering additional coach services between Manchester and York, Birmingham and Leicester.

“Belle Vue has delivered exceptional quality on our network, alongside an entrepreneurial and ambitious approach from Phil and the entire team” – Managing Director of FlixBus UK, Andreas Schorling

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’s partnership with travel tech firm Flix began in April of this year, delivering regular cross-country services between Manchester, Leeds, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

The success of the route, regularly achieving high customer satisfaction ratings, has been recognised by the industry, and shortlisted as Best Express Coach Service at the UK Bus Awards in late November.

“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.”
