FlixBus launches new coach services for Luton DART Parkway

Coach brand FlixBus is announcing the launch of a new service between Norwich and Luton DART Parkway from 25 May.

Tickets between Norwich and Luton DART Parkway start at £8.99, while tickets between Thetford and Luton DART Parkway start at £8.49, and tickets between Cambridge and Luton DART Parkway start at £6.99.

Six daily departures each way will offer travellers a convenient, affordable link between East Anglia, Cambridgeshire and Luton airport, ahead of the busy summer season.

Coach services will offer travel from Norwich Bus Station, Norwich University of East Anglia, Thetford Bus Interchange, Cambridge Parkside, Cambridge Trumpington Park and Ride, before arriving at Luton DART Parkway.

Shamil Maindiratta, Managing Director of FlixBus UK, commented: "We're proud to launch this new route and offer passengers across East Anglia and Cambridgeshire direct, affordable, and sustainable travel options to international airports.

"Rather than complicated interconnections, passengers can enjoy a comfortable journey that extends their holiday from the moment they step on board."

The travel tech company, known for its bright green vehicles, recently celebrated its 5th anniversary in the UK, and now offers over 100 destinations on its network.

Linsey Sweet, Service Director for Luton Rising, the Luton Council company that owns London Luton Airport and operates the Luton DART, said: “Coach and bus connections are a vital component in the sustainable operation and growth of our airport.

“We are delighted to have supported Flixbus in bringing forward this new service connecting key markets in the east of England with Luton DART services to the airport.”

From Norwich and Thetford, passengers can also find daily FlixBus services to central London.

FlixBus tickets include luggage and free Wi-Fi and charging on every vehicle.

Tickets for the service are available now on the FlixBus app and www.flixbus.co.uk
