Andreas Schorling, Managing Director of FlixBus UK, said: “Summer travel just became more affordable and sustainable than ever thanks to our new international and domestic routes.
“We’re building the largest coach network in the country and as part of our unique offering, we’ll become first coach provider offering regular scheduled services from cities like Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham and Bristol into Amsterdam, as one of the most popular destinations in Europe.
“Three of our long-term coach operator partners will be expanding their footprint on our network based on the successes we’ve shared over the past two years. Our phenomenal growth is thanks to the strong relationships we have with operators as we cement FlixBus’s position as a key player in the coach industry.”
Services depart from Leeds Kirkgate and travel overnight to Amsterdam Sloterdijk. The journey takes approximately 16 hours and 20 minutes with WiFi and charging ports provided.
Luggage including one carry-on bag of up to 7kg and another of up to 20kg are included in the price. Prices begin at £31.99 with an additional service fee of £1 on booking.
