The UK’s fastest growing coach provider FlixBus will launch new routes from Glasgow to Manchester on Thursday, April 28 giving people the chance to enjoy a trip down south to enjoy the May bank holiday for as little as 99p.

Preston and Lancaster have also been added as destinations on the growing network of towns and cities offered by the affordable and eco-friendly travel operator, increasing the total number of locations on the FlixBus network to over 30.Coaches will run to and from Glasgow and Manchester five times a week, offering an eco-friendly transport alternative for increasingly climate-conscious consumers.The rising cost of living may mean travellers reconsider their transport options over the holiday periods this year following a squeeze on household budgets brought about by soaring inflation and energy bills, coupled with increased food and fuel prices.With hundreds of coach services across the country now running weekly, FlixBus expects to see its passenger numbers reach their highest level since the company relaunched in the UK last year, especially as university students finish the academic year.Commenting on the new route and May Day ticket offer, FlixBus UK Managing Director Andreas Schorling said: “It’s wonderful to be able to offer passengers more destination options than ever before, particularly these new routes between Manchester and Glasgow.“We know that the cost of living is soaring, so it is worth remembering that coach travel is the most cost-effective way to get around.”FlixBus will also be adding new routes from London to Plymouth on April 28, which will add Exeter, Bridgwater and Taunton to its network of destinations - tickets on the route start at 99p.You can quickly see the cost of
