More Coach Services for Wales as FlixBus Expands Network

By National News · 9 Feb 2026 · 1 min read

Travel tech company FlixBus is launching more coach services between Swansea, Cardiff, Heathrow Airport, and central London.

Six new services each way daily between London, Heathrow Airport, Swindon, Reading, Newport and Cardiff will begin on Sunday February 15 in time for the half term holiday.

Swansea city centre and Swansea University will also benefit from extra services between Bridgend, Bristol, Newport, Cardiff and London.

FlixBus Vice President, West Europe, Andreas Schorling, said:

“The affordable, reliable and comfortable journeys we offer are extremely popular with people travelling between London and Wales, so we’re proudly providing more access to our much-loved brand than ever before.”

The network growth is a result of a newly expanded partnership between FlixBus and Cardiff-based coach operator Watts.

“Our first year with FlixBus has been incredibly rewarding, and we’re proud to be growing with the go-to coach name in Wales and beyond,” said Jo-Anne Watts, Director of Watts Coaches.

Watts Coaches joined the FlixBus network in 2025 and is adding two new FlixBus-branded Temsa HD12 vehicles to its fleet to enhance capacity.

“Kicking off our 2026 expansion strategy is a milestone moment as we plan to grow by the same as last year,” concluded Schorling.
