Bus Ambassador

First Bus and FlixBus have announced a five-year partnership that will see eight new or expanded coach routes launching across the UK from next year, strengthening long-distance travel options nationwide. The collaboration marks a major milestone for both companies, with First Bus furthering its reach into the intercity coach market and FlixBus doubling down on its UK expansion.

Stagecoach is bringing 64 shiny new electric buses to the streets of Coventry and Warwickshire, all part of a bold £140m project to make Coventry the UK’s first fully electric bus town or city. That’s right—this isn’t just about a few green buses here and there; it’s a major leap forward for the Coventry Electric Bus City scheme.

Good news for festive travellers! National Express is boosting its network just in time for the Christmas rush, adding a whopping 16,000 seats a week across popular intercity routes from the 4th of December. This festive season, they’re offering more options than ever to travel between cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester and even to major airports like Heathrow.

If you’re spotting giant poppies on First buses around Yorkshire, it’s not your eyes playing tricks – it’s First Bus proudly showing its support for Remembrance this November. With 300 buses decked out in the iconic Royal British Legion poppy, First Bus North & West Yorkshire are adding welcome tribute to their fleet, honouring veterans and their families. And they’ve backed it up with a generous £3,350 donation to this year’s Poppy Appeal .
