Andreas Schorling, Managing Director FlixBus UK: “We are excited to offer convenient travel to people from Newcastle and Sunderland.
“This is a great time for people in the UK to discover their own country and do so sustainably travelling by coach. Whereas coach travel is already very popular across the UK, we believe that the market still has the potential to grow.
