FlixBus Welcomes Prospect Coaches to Growing UK Network

Travel tech brand FlixBus is adding Prospect Coaches as a partner on its UK network.

Prospect Coaches, headquartered in the West Midlands, will be the second operator in as many weeks to join the growing green coach network.

“Since our launch to the UK market, we’ve brought unmatched ambition and optimism which has allowed us to attract high-quality operators like Prospect to join us,” said Andreas Schorling, FlixBus UK Managing Director.

Initially, Prospect will add two Scania Higer vehicles to the FlixBus network, with services between Birmingham and London starting on 7 October.

Eight more vehicles will follow in 2025, providing even more services on the FlixBus UK map.

Managing Director of Prospect Coaches West, Nathan Hadley commented: “FlixBus has impressed us with the rapid growth of the brand and the huge number of green coaches we see on the road.

“We could not ignore the innovation and advanced model FlixBus is bringing to the coach market, and the time was right for us to make the move. We are excited to expand the business  and partner with FlixBus. The FlixBus team has a positive energy, they share our values and are the only option offering the growth that matches our ambition.”

With the majority of its services based out of Stourbridge, Prospect says it has a vision to be a one-stop shop for coach transport.

The company has been operating express coach services since 2021, as well as offering day trips, sports teams, private hire and schools.

FlixBus is part of the wider Flix group, which recently added coach services to Ireland, bringing its total global footprint to 44 countries.

“The rate of growth we are delivering is phenomenal and we have no plans to stop in 2025. We have plenty more in the pipeline as we continue leading the way in the coach industry,” concluded Schorling.
