A new, super-affordable coach service from Manchester to York and Bradford has launched today (April 11) with journeys starting from £3.99. The service from travel tech company FlixBus is a beacon of hope for anyone looking for a travel bargain and getaway across the Pennines from Manchester to the beautiful city of York and other Yorkshire cities.
Flixbus are one of the biggest coach companies in Europe, with an extensive list of services across the globe including some incredibly affordable routes in the UK. So, whether you’re a Yorkie (or Yorker?) heading home for the weekend from Manchester, or a Manc who fancies a staycation in the North Yorkshire city exploring the sites like York Minster, the Roman city walls and The Shambles, be sure to keep Flixbus in mind for all your coaching needs.
Tickets between Manchester and Bradford Interchange start at just £3.99, while tickets between Manchester and York (Memorial Gardens – Leeman Road) start at £7.99. The route will also directly connect Manchester (Shudehill Interchange) with Leeds (Kirkgate) daily, adding more FlixBus services between the cities for as little as £3.99.
The news comes during National Coach Week (April 8-14) 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, Middlesborough and Newcastle.
FlixBus offers tickets from just £2.99 on its vast UK network, covering England, Scotland and Wales, as well as international daily routes to the continent. The green travel brand also offers direct coach services between Manchester and Paris, making travel to the 2024 Olympics, hosted in the French capital affordable.
Tickets are available to purchase from the FlixBus website here and the FlixBus App.
