FlixBus, a coach service, is set to extend its services to Stevenage later this month.

From Thursday, April 27, locals will be able to take advantage of daily services from Stevenage to London and Cambridge.

FlixBus have also launched an opening offer to encourage people to use their services, with tickets available from £2.

The £2 tickets to and from Stevenage are available to buy until April 30, for any journeys until July 31.

Potential customers can also head to bit.ly/FLIX2UK to find codes for 20 per cent of FlixBus journeys, with the same date parameters as the £2 tickets offer.

The launch of the new service coincides with FlixBus's second anniversary in the UK - the company operates across more than 40 countries globally.

Andreas Schorling, managing director of FlixBus UK, said: “We believe transport should be affordable, sustainable and accessible to everyone.

"Response from the UK public to FlixBus services has been phenomenal, so we wanted to give something back to our passengers for our second anniversary.

“We’re really delighted to be bringing our services to Stevenage for the first time ever, as well as adding more routes and destinations to explore on our network for as little as £2!”

Tickets are available on the FlixBus website and App.
