I thought it was about time I gave the recently introduced FlixBus express coach service between Brighton and London a try out. It began on 13th June providing two journeys from the south coast city to Cambridge via Gatwick Airport and, intriguingly, Stratford, as the coach stop in London rather than Victoria. The timetable doubled to four return journeys from 24th July explaining why I was noticing the bright green liveried coaches on the A23 more than in previous weeks, sparking my interest in taking a ride.
Adding Brighton to the network is just another step in the seemingly relentless expansion of FlixBus with the company not being shy at promoting its aim of becoming Britain’s market leader in the express coach market. Which is a polite way of saying it aims to supplant National Express’s hitherto market domination. And it’s not only in Britain where the company is expanding with new ventures on the global stage thanks to the deep pockets of its equity backing owners.
FlixBus claims to now have over 200 vehicles on the road in Britain with recent high profile partner signings including First Bus, Trentbarton and Go-Ahead’s Go South Coast.
As well as Brighton, the Company’s vivid green liveried coaches can also now be found further west along the south coast in Bournemouth as well as in the south west with Truro and Newquay as well as Falmouth and Penzance added to the network.
Generally it always seems to be positive stories emanating from the FlixBus PR machine although it was interesting to read Whippet recently ended its four year partnership with FlixBus which is partly what’s led to Sandy based Cozy Travel taking on the service between Cambridge, Stratford and Brighton.
Cozy Travel negotiated terms with the leasing company to take on six Neoplan Tourliner P20 coaches which had previously been among Whippet’s 12 strong fleet.
As well as two coaches on the Cambridge/Brighton route, which takes the number 066 in the FlixBus numbering system, Cozy Travel is also running two coaches on a new 006 numbered route between Cambridge, Stevenage and the London ‘Green Line’ terminal in Victoria.
The Brighton-London coach market is a challenging one to serve on a commercial basis. Once the M23 ends at Coulsdon it’s a long slow slog along the A23 through Purley, Streatham and Brixton. National Express gave up on it as a direct route some time ago with its 025 route from Brighton serving Gatwick and then heads round the M25 to Heathrow before continuing to Victoria via the M4. I can’t imagine many, if any, passengers spend three hours and 25 minutes on such a journey from Brighton to London.
If they do, there’s now an alternative with the new FlixBus offering.
Granted that’s not a quick journey either, at two hours and 35 minutes, but that beats NatEx by almost an hour and as I found when I travelled on Friday morning, the reality is much better with the schedule timings including a generous allowance for traffic delays.
Four daily departures leave Brighton at 10:00, 12:00, 20:00 and 22:00 which is an interesting uneven spread across the day. It may have something to do with serving the Gatwick market as the first departure from Cambridge is at 04:30 giving a Gatwick arrival at 07:30, handy for early morning flight departures, with the following journey leaving Cambridge at 06:30 giving a Brighton arrival at 10:30, ideal for a day out at the seaside.
But it would be a long day out with the return not until 20:00 and an arrival back in Cambridge at midnight.
The two afternoon departures from Cambridge are at 14:30 and 16:30.
It looks as though the timetable is being introduced on a phased basis and perhaps another two coaches will be added in a few weeks giving more departures.
I booked a seat on the 10:00 from Brighton to Stratford. I’d been checking the prices online all last week with the price starting off at £7.99 at the beginning of the week, rising to £8.49 on Wednesday…
… and when I booked on Thursday it had reached £8.99, which with a £1 ‘Service Fee’ made for a ticket price of £9.99 before the cost of a seat which for a “Classic” seat (ie not the guest four rows) adds another £1.49 to the cost.
However, FlixBus offers you the option of paying extra for a ‘Panorama’ seat (aka the front seats) for £2.99, or one of the three rows behind that for £1.59.
And if you’re that way inclined you can also buy the seat next to you and “Travel neighbour-free’ for £6.49.
I was pretty sure the coach wouldn’t be that busy but as I was keen to enjoy a front seat view to take some photographs during the journey to illustrate this blog, I splashed out on the front nearside seat next to the gangway bringing my total bill to £12.98.
FlixBus describes the picking up point in Brighton on its website as ‘Brighton Coach Station’ which sounds rather grand but the booking correctly confirms the departure point as stop Z in the Old Steine as good old Pool Valley has been out of commission since the Royal Albion Hotel fire two years ago.
The trouble is the City Council has commissioned extensive roadworks in the Old Steine area and Stop Z (which has no shelter) is also used for terminating bus routes so there’s not much room for coaches, especially when motorists park there too.
Luckily at 10:00 when the coach appeared spot on time there was room behind the bus stop marking for the FlixBus coach to pull in to pick up myself and the two passengers travelling to Gatwick’s South Terminal.
The three of us were quickly on board and I took up my prized front row seat taking a few photographs which sparked the interest of Mark, the driver, who was one of the friendliest express coach drivers I’ve met with a career long experience of express coach driving including with Megabus.
He was so friendly, when we got to Gatwick Airport he took the trouble to proudly pose in front of the coach for a photo after he’d helped passengers waiting at the stand for various destinations including Manchester and Birmingham.
The Birmingham bound coach soon appeared and Mark explained that Prospect Coaches had been a contractor for Megabus and I see that brand name lives on on the departure board.
Three passengers all bound for Cambridge joined us and we set off to the North Terminal where there were no takers and left there at 11:00 heading back to the M23.
As we approached the end of the M23 at 11:15, taking the slip road for the anti-clockwise M25 towards Dartford, Mark predicted if the traffic was behaving itself we’d be in Stratford in an hour.
That sounded pretty good to me especially as checking Google maps it was showing the route straight ahead either via Purley or Mitcham to Victoria would take an hour and 20 minutes.
However, Google maps was also showing a long red line emanating south from Dartford on the M25 indicating heavy congestion approaching the Tunnels.
Indeed as we continued passing the Godstone junction, clockwise traffic had become slow going but thankfully we were free following.
Mark reckons using junction 2 and heading into London on the A2 and using the Blackwall Tunnel is by far the best option but as I updated him on the length of the queue trailing back from Dartford being almost to junction 3 for the A20 he decided that would be the better back up option to take.
As we approached that junction the gantry signs were warning of “Congestion after Junction” so it seemed the obvious thing to be doing, to quit while we were ahead.
It was now 11:35 and the A20 was nicely free flowing…
… giving a continued trouble free journey which took us on to the A2 and into the Blackwall Tunnel which, thanks to its new neighbour, the Silvertown Tunnel, was also free flowing.
It’s not easy driving a large vehicle like a Neoplan Tourliner through the narrow twisty lanes in the tunnel…
… especially where the poles separating the lanes dangle down from the roof…
… but Mark was well practised in the necessary skills and easily rose to the challenge.
After that, we were soon negotiating the Bow Roundabout…
… and taking the back road to reach Stratford City Bus station where we arrived at 12:17, almost exactly to the minute of Mark’s prediction and 18 minutes ahead of the scheduled arrival and 28 minutes before the departure time for the onward journey to Cambridge.
Mark let the three passengers on board know they could leave the coach for a wander around if they wanted, but must be back in good tine for the 12:45 departure, and I bid my fond farewells to Mark so he could enjoy his short break.
Catching the Elizabeth line from Stratford would get me into central London in less than 14 minutes with many other options also available including the Central and Mildmay lines.
I would never have thought central London could be reached so effortlessly by taking what appears to be such a roundabout route. It certainly made a contrast to battling through south London’s congestion.
But, the alternative offered by the train is compelling. Indeed, I travelled back to Brighton on Thameslink from London Bridge. It takes 68 minutes and costs £23.70 or just £15.75 with a Railcard – not much more than I’d paid for my coach journey taking double the time.
It’s probably why National Express abandoned the London market to serve both airports instead and why the main market FlixBus will garner on the 066 is Cambridge to Stratford and Cambridge to Gatwick Airport.

When ever I have flown from Gatwick, on an early flight, it has been an 06.00/07.00 departure. Leaving Cambridge at 01.30/02.00 would provide an option. However, a night in the Hi Express is more sensible. No worries about traffic!

It all got a bit complicated as apart from the VCS – Brighton service there were also shorts to Gatwick which used a different route number and for a while went a different way. But quick précis: yes, the Wallington routeing was abandoned several years ago. After that for a while they routed everything via Sutton and the A23, very handy for me as I live there, but now that’s been abandoned as well (although they don’t appear to have told TfL as many of their former stops still have NatEx e-plates and even timetables) and everything goes via Heathrow.
Meanwhile despite having a NatEx coachcard I actually made my first journey on Flixbus a few weeks ago (mainly because NatEx didn’t have a suitably-timed journey) and was able to get an early Sunday morning (ie 06:00 departure) single from VCS to Swindon for £4, which is just silly.

It’s impossible to find any financial information about Flixbus. As is noted their PR machine puts out lots of positive items but travellers tales are often not so positive.
To get Wellglade and Go South Coast on board means they must have improved their financial offer, I understand whilst the rates are similar to NX the penalty regime is much less onerous. Out of those 200 I think McGills in Scotland is also a big contractor with 60? vehicles employed?
Flixbus backers have deep pockets but the network must be losing a lot of money , even though there appears to have been a big increase in coach travel even after Megabus’ withdrawal from England, no doubt as a result of the Flix onslaught.
Mobico, owners of NX , are in a very fragile state and the NX network is losing money as well. Perhaps in time Flixbus will buy the NX Coach network?

I have found Flixbus to be very good in general. If you can stomach the overnight run from Victoria to Rotterdam Centraal then it’s by far the cheapest way on to the continent and on to northern Europe. Never paid more than £25.
My record journey with them is Frankfurt (dep 15:30, Victoria 09:30) £50. Not the easiest thing I’ve ever done but the saving over Eurostar is enormous.
Of note, which I think matches Roger’s experience, is that the driving has always been superb in my experience.
And a tip, if you book an aisle seat in row two, it’s almost certain no one will book the window seat alongside you.

I’ve used Flixbus in Eastern Europe and between Spain and France, and the experience was excellent. They do have one advantage in Eastern Europe which is that they are often serving large centrally located coach and bus stations, normally with loos, catering and lockers. That considerably improves the overall travel experience.

Good to see you posting again Roger
I still remember the hilarity when Paul Williams suggested that you had a large motor car with no more than 8 seats that could involve a lot less paperwork to test out the cycle racks in 1996 (NB it was 12 metres long & 2.5 metres wide… )
You must get up to sample Deutsche Bahn’s express coaches in Scotland where Ralph R has made an early move to secure the contracts for North of the border, and journeys to England
The price paring, and other budget/licensing issues can be a topic to review
With 3 separate commercial operators of express coach services (Scottish Citylink now effectively absorbing the route sharing Megabus which has pulled out from English routes) we now also have 24 hour express coach services on all the main routes. The 47 miles Edinburgh-Glasgow has 10 services per hour during the day with the 900 core route every 15 minutes, the AIR (catch local buses from EDI or tram) every 20 min, the 902 (scenic route!) plus Flixbus 090 every 30 min. Ember calls at EDI with their Dundee/Aberdeen route but avoids delay & cost of calling at the main terminal with a deal to use Edinburgh Tram from 1 stop short of EDI
After 20+ years of prodding (4 Citylink MD’s!) we now have cycle reservations on both Scottish Citylink & Ember but as yet not on Flixbus (in Scotland) but some contractors (eg Berrys) have continued to carry cycles
As many of the Ember & Flixbus routes are not registered as stage-bus services this can see short notice ‘disruption’ which may relate to demand for coaches elsewhere
I’ve noted the light footprint nature of Flixbus, & Megabus in many cities, and in Birmingham the former uses a naked bus stop on the inner ring road, and Megabus was using Brunel Street
This prompts me to suggest a customer experience report on the various coach stops & how the experience can be massively variable
At Digbeth we have a warm, well lit modern concourse with good Passenger Information Services (PIS), yet at Harthill a naked bus stop pole & flag, almost at the summit of M8 crossing Central Scotland (a bit exposed! is an understatement)
At Broxden (Perth) a waiting room, with staff usually in drivers’ accommodation, & 24hr convenience store at the adjacent P&R petrol station, but at Chorlton Street (Manchester) you arrive to a city ‘dead’ until 07.00, and after 23.00
A huge opportunity to deliver faster journeys using fewer coaches stopping on or near main motorways can radically improve the offer, if there was some serious investment, and driven by commercial, private funding rather then hoping fro a government hand-out
With the £60 LEZ charges at several Scottish cities, the ample parking options at places like Maxim Park, with frequent calls by 900 & AIR offer a great opportunity to wean many drivers away from their cars, & the potential £200 fine WHEN they’re caught using a phone
If the bus & coach industry is really serious about winning business the interchanges plus use of rail & tram services to avoid the delays of getting into city centres needs to be part of the deal
NB the non stop rail journey from Stratford to Liverpool Street was around 7 minutes in 1930’s with steam locos & quads, and is also 7 minutes with HS1 to St Pancras

There are a few services from Stratford to Liverpool Street that dont involve stopping at Whitechapel, but the general frequency and ease of access on the EL probably gives it the edge.
I dont know if it would be worth adding something around Sidcup / Eltham as a Stopping Place ( gives a connection earlier to London and maybe SE London would like a trip to Cambridge Gatwick or Brighton that is time competitive with rail overall. I wonder if a walk on flat £20 fare is worth offering ?
Flixbus have certainly got the fare flexing up to Virgin Atlantic standards.
Its a pity Stagecoach lost the rail franchises as the Megatrain bolt on Coach Services made good use of the spare bits of capacity on the rail (with a few pennies of opportunity for catering sales on the train)
Given First’s shopping for coach operators that should give them scope to do more with Flix if only to see what the market is like.
There are a few trip vlogs on YT featuring Flix and there dont seem to be complaints about the times fares or vehicle presentation
Brighton GAT LHR (Hatton Cross ?) Slough Oxford anyone ( indeed a little loop of Oxford Park and Rides to avoid the centre of Oxford then off to Stratford on Avon Birmingham must have some temptations)
Really some of these routes Arriva should be doing using the Green Line respected name and one can with the fares system extract close to £15 to £20 for a journey thats no bad 30 seats yields £450 x 4 for the route segments £1800 a day which is not a bad return to aim for

I always find it odd that the Traffic Commissioners role includes preventing unfair competition by operators who don’t adhere to maintenance requirements or drivers hours regs, but they are seemingly powerless when faced with any operator who has a strategy to deliberately operate at a loss to buy market share ( or force a competitor out of business) but meet the financial standing requirements for an O Licence due to the parent company’s deep pockets.

I found that most interesting as, 35 years ago, I was based at Freshfield Road and for a while was a a regular driver, on the O64 service from Pool Valley to Victoria. Hard to believe, given today’s traffic conditions, that we managed to drive “double Londons” ( two return trips in one day) when the running time was 1¾ hours each way. The four day week rota meant there were occasions when 12 return trips to London from Brighton (or Shoreham in the early morning) could be operated in six consecutive days. What a joy if one of the two day return trips to Plymouth or Swansea dropped in the rota!

I’ve not yet tried the new Flixbus Brighton route but I have tried the also fairly new Flixbus Bournemouth – London route operated by Go South Coast, travelling between Southampton City Centre / University and London Victoria (Green Line).
The Southampton City Centre stop is, interestingly, at the new Southampton Central rail station south side bus interchange, which has rapidly filled up with bus routes (Uni-link U6, First X4, X5, Bluestar 15, Quayconnect), all very useful, great for rail connections, and with an attractive waiting shelter but now tight for space, with the tight turn round at the far end.
I’ve travelled by National Express for years between Southampton and London as rail fares are higher, but switched between them and Megabus when the latter started up, as there was a price war and I went with the cheapest at the time. I now do the same with Flixbus, if the times suit, but I note that the Flixbus fares (and ridership) rose quickly and there was less of a price war.
I think the booking fee is unavoidable on Flixbus (National Express waive theirs if you register and login to their website) but I discovered (it wasn’t clear when booking) that it is possible to avoid a seat fee if you allow Flixbus to allocate the seat for you. I hate booking a seat on a coach, as I always like to choose a suitable one on boarding – I’m glad that National Express largely don’t book specific seats (and hope it stays this way) – so with Flixbus I cheekily ignore my seat number and just sit somewhere, and hope that nobody gets on and is booked in the seat I’m in. I do of course move if someone says they are booked in my seat. So it’s a case of crossing one’s fingers until the likely last boarding stop has been passed (Southampton University or Heathrow T5) then being able to relax.
I’ve found the drivers very good and the coach quality similarly very good.
