German transport operator FlixBus has added three new stops in Cornwall including Newquay Truro and Penzance to its UK coach network with services starting on May 15. The announcement coincides with National Coach Week and forms part of the company’s wider plan to improve regional connectivity across the South West. The new routes are intended to improve how easily people can travel between Cornwall’s main towns and other parts of the country.

FlixBus currently operates over 200 coaches throughout England, Scotland and Wales connecting more than 80 locations. The addition of Newquay Truro and Penzance expands its reach further into Cornwall joining other service points in nearby Penryn Plymouth and Exeter. The expanded coach network is likely to make travel simpler for both locals and tourists by providing a straightforward and budget-friendly option in an area where public transport has often been limited.

Coaches provide essential transport links, connect communities, and support our tourism sector.
Managing director Richard Smit

Reaching Newquay has become more convenient, making it simpler for tourists to explore landmarks like Fistral Beach on the Cornish coast. The town also offers access to the Blue Reef Aquarium and scenic walking routes along the South West Coast Path. The new coach route allows tourists to arrive directly in the town centre making it easier to plan day trips and short stays without relying on a private vehicle.

Those heading to Truro will find easier access to Truro Cathedral, the Royal Cornwall Museum and the city’s network of independent shops and markets. In Penzance visitors can explore the historic harbor area, walk to the open air Jubilee Pool or travel to Marazion to visit the tidal island of St Michaels Mount. The coach service also provides better public transport links to ferry connections to the Isles of Scilly located just a short distance from Penzance.

Travelers looking to reduce costs and their environmental impact now have more UK routes to choose from. With Cornwall being a popular destination especially in summer these routes reduce dependency on cars and help relieve congestion in small towns. The improved coach network gives visitors the flexibility to explore a broader range of places using reliable public transport.
