A NEW bus service will operate between Glasgow and Manchester with ticket prices starting from 99p.

FlixBus will launch the new line, which will include Preston and Lancaster, in time for customers to travel over the May Day Bank Holiday Weekend.

The new routes will launch next week on Thursday, April 28 and coaches will run between Manchester and Glasgow five times a week. 

FlixBus UK Managing Director Andreas Schorling said: "It’s wonderful to be able to offer passengers more destination options than ever before, particularly these new routes between Manchester and Glasgow.

"We know that the cost of living is soaring, so it is worth remembering that coach travel is the most cost-effective way to get around."
