Andreas Schorling, the company's managing director, said: "Since our launch to the UK market, we’ve brought unmatched ambition and optimism which has allowed us to attract high-quality operators like Prospect to join us.

“The rate of growth we are delivering is phenomenal and we have no plans to stop in 2025."

Prospect will initially add two Scania Higer vehicles to the FlixBus network, with services between Birmingham and London set to start on Monday (October 7).

Eight more vehicles will be added in 2025.

Nathan Hadley, managing director of Prospect Coaches West, said: "FlixBus has impressed us with the rapid growth of the brand and the huge number of green coaches we see on the road.

"We could not ignore the innovation and advanced model FlixBus is bringing to the coach market, and the time was right for us to make the move.

"We are excited to expand the business and partner with FlixBus.

"The FlixBus team has a positive energy, they share our values and are the only option offering the growth that matches our ambition.”
