Thanks to FlixBus’s latest offer, you’ll soon be able to explore the UK for the same price as a cup of takeaway coffee.
To celebrate its fourth birthday, the brand has slashed the price of coach tickets to just £4.
Given rail fares went up 5% last year, and a peak time intercity journey often ends up costing more than a holiday to Spain, that’ll come as welcome news to many.
Until April 22, promotional tickets are available for travel between April 23 and June 30 2025, with a range of 80 destinations across England, Scotland and Wales to choose from.
Cut-price seats are on offer to popular spots like London, Birmingham and Manchester, as well as recent additions to the FlixBus network; Cheltenham, Gloucester, Swindon and Norwich.

Heading to one of FlixBus's newest coach stops?
Norwich is the largest city in East Anglia, which Lonely Planet ranked as a top 10 destination to visit in 2025, describing the region as a ‘quaint paradise’.
Or, why not head to Bath, dubbed the country’s cosiest spot for its ‘warm’ and ‘relaxing’ atmosphere?
If you fancy a beach break, FlixBus also has a new route from London to Bournemouth, where you’ll find golden sands, natural wonders galore, and (of course) good old fish and chips.

By high summer, the company plans to have over 200 of its green coaches on the road throughout the country, each of which has amenities like on-board WiFi, extra legroom, power outlets, and toilets.
Plus, passengers can avoid the annoying extra costs of travelling by plane, getting one hand luggage item and a checked-in bag weighing up to 20kg free as part of every FlixBus ticket (with additional items charged from £4.99 each).
‘We’re incredibly proud of the network we’re delivering for our passengers and the economic impact we have on local communities,’ Schorling adds.
‘The popularity of our services has been nothing short of phenomenal and we continue growing to meet demand.’
