The partnership will begin on 13 June, adding Brighton as a new destination for the UK-wide coach network. Serving the seaside city for the first time, the route will link Brighton to Gatwick Airport, London and Cambridge twice a day in each direction. A direct service between Cambridge and London will also operate four times daily.

“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,” said Andreas Schorling, Senior Managing Director of FlixBus UK.

“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 celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. Director Greg Powell also serves as National Chairman of the Institute of Transport Administration (IoTA).

Greg 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.”

FlixBus expects there to be over 200 vehicles on its services this summer.

“Our outlook on the market is incredibly positive – we are building a network fit for the next generation of coach travellers,” concluded Schorling.
