More changes to the Flixbus schedule from this Thursday 6 August.
Only thing affecting this region is the withdrawal of the Fri/Sun only 'short' 0800 departure from Birmingham and 1330 return. All other 023's stay the same.
Nationally they're introducing a new twice daily (Thu-Mon) London to Leeds via Sheffield Meadowhall.

Having withdrawn operations last year, it looks like they will be back from next Thursday. The following (some new) routes appear in the journey planner from 15th April, however in the absence of a map it's all a bit hit and miss just typing in random origin and destination points, so the actual routes may well be longer (or indeed others not yet 'found').

Victoria, Heathrow, Newport, Cardiff, Bridgend, Swansea University, Swansea

Victoria, Hammersmith, Heathrow, Bristol University, Bristol

Victoria, Finchley Road, Fosse Park, Leicester, Loughborough, Derby

Victoria, Finchley Road, Sheffield (Meadowhall), Leeds, Bradford

Victoria, Finchley Road, Birmingham, Manchester

Thandi have a brand new VanHool, TT21 NND, on the 023 to London this morning.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

Thandi have added another Van Hool - FL21 BUS.

Been seeing quite a few Flixbus coached punting their way up and down the M1 in the last week or so. I would've said I saw more of them than NX coaches on one day until a gaggle of NX coaches appeared stuck at J16.

A 005 service was even trundling down the A5 today, presumably avoiding the utter chaos that was enveloping the M1 this afternoon.

Whippets Coaches appear to have lost all their NX work & have redeployed all their Levante fleet on to Flixbus work instead.

Flixbus isn't contracts as such, operators decide on routes to run and Flixbus market them. Thandi have decided it's not worth their while

I see thank you for clearing that up @Tony

Wonder what they are going to do with coaches

 Can we confirm if the Flixbus coaches were purchased or "leased" by Thandi ?   I would assume the latter ?
