Travel tech company FlixBus is launching a new Manchester to York and Bradford coach service on Thursday 11 April, furthering its partnership with Stockport coach operator, Belle Vue Manchester.
The route will also directly connect Manchester (Shudehill Interchange) with Leeds (Kirkgate) daily, adding more FlixBus services between the cities, with onward travel to York and Bradford.
The news comes during National Coach Week (8-14 April) and will see a brand new 49-seat coach with a modern interior, mobile device charging, and free, fast, unlimited Wi-Fi.
Andreas Schorling, Managing Director of FlixBus UK said:
“We’re announcing even more destinations, allowing passengers to enjoy the vibrant cities of the north and connecting people in the North of England through our ever-expanding coach network.”
The new service will be provided by FlixBus partner Belle Vue, which recently increased its FlixBus fleet with brand-new Yutong vehicles. The FlixBus partner began operating the network’s first route to and from Manchester Airport into Stoke-on-Trent and Birmingham in March, as well as popular daily services between Manchester, Leeds, Middlesbrough and Newcastle which launched in 2023.
Phil Hitchen, Managing Director of Belle Vue, added:
“We are delighted to expand our successful partnership with FlixBus and continue to grow the network connecting Manchester with more cities across the UK. Passengers can expect the best value for money, with the highest standards of comfort and service.”
