By Martin Booth  Monday Jul 8, 2024

The operators of a new direct coach service from Bristol to Manchester are promising a journey that will take just 20 minutes more than the average time by train between the two cities.

Tickets for the three-and-a-half-hour trip from FlixBus will cost from only £4.49.

The new service will begin on July 20 and run from Bond Street to Moss Lane in Manchester.
