Leading travel tech company FlixBus is expanding its network for 2026, launching more coach services between central London, Heathrow Airport, Cardiff and Swansea from Sunday 15 February.
Six new services each way daily between London, Heathrow Airport, Swindon, Reading, Newport and Cardiff will begin in time for the February half term, giving London passengers more choice when travelling to Wales and the South West.
Swansea city centre and Swansea University will also benefit from extra services to London via Bridgend, Bristol, Newport and Cardiff.
FlixBus Vice President, West Europe, Andreas Schorling commented: “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 network from the capital than ever before.”
The network growth follows an 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 services that connect London with communities across 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 support the expansion.
“Kicking off our 2026 expansion strategy with increased London connectivity is a milestone moment as we plan to grow by the same amount again this year,” concluded Schorling.
Tickets can be purchased from www.flixbus.co.uk or the FlixBus App.
