GREENOCK bus firm McGill’s Buses is to run services to London in a new partnership with European coach network FlixBus.
Flixbus has launched an overnight route from Glasgow to the UK capital via Edinburgh, Newcastle and Sunderland and it will be operated on their behalf by McGill’s.
James Easdale, chairman of McGill’s, said: “We are delighted to be entering into partnership with FlixBus to deliver their very first route from Scotland down to London.
“This is McGill’s first move into long-distance bus travel and we have assembled a team of highly-experienced long distance express drivers and invested substantially in new Volvo 9700 coaches for the service.
“FlixBus is a huge brand that is synonymous with intercity bus travel in Europe and the United States and everyone at McGill’s is looking forward to working to build their presence in Scotland and the rest of the UK.”
