    Any tourists out there, I'd say do this instead of an expensive tour! What a great service :) And I'd always say a coach is a type of bus, so you certainly get away with it from my perspective. Cheers my man!

      You're very kind. It's a fantastic service and one I'll definitely use again. I must say, as someone who drives the A9 a fair bit, it was lovely to be able to just look out the window.

      The technical legal definition of a coach is a BUS on which no standing is allowed :-) so all coaches are, indeed, buses :-)

      @DougPaulley thanks for that. I've read some very irate sounding comments on YT when people refer to coaches as buses!

    Thanks for the video, Tim. Seeing all the coaches running around (during this journey) makes one realise how the long-running rail dispute has helped the bus boys expand.

    • @Timstravels01
      @Timstravels01  5 місяців тому +1

    I have used them many times now since they come up to Inverness, absolutely superb service, from friendly and welcoming drivers, clean and comfortable coaches and of course the price.. I will continue to use them again. Having a low budget it has allowed me to travel much more and further afield.. a welcome addition and much needed competition for Inverness and the Highlands. Rumours they looking at doing Inverness to Aberdeen

    • @Timstravels01
      @Timstravels01  5 місяців тому +1

      I completely agree. I’ll be using them again that’s for sure. It’ll be interesting to see if they start an Aberdeen service. There is also talk of Ember coming to Inverness. We shall see.

    Nice video and i reckon if you call your company Flix"BUS", then you think you are running busses! So i wouldn't worry about that coach thing!

    I've used Flixbus in Slovenia, Poland and Hungary, they offer a great cheap service. The great thing is you can book the seat next to you for a lot cheaper too, that way you get 2 seats to yourself. Handy for a 6 hour journey if you are 6ft 5! Plus the app is superb.

    Just came across this video today, very much enjoyed it, but then anything to do with Scotland, I always enjoy. Flixbus was certainly value for money and next time I come over to the UK, I’m tempted to try one of their journeys. Thank you Tim and you now have a new subscriber 😊😊

    Great video. I'm traveling Birmingham to London at the end of July. I booked it a few months ago, and paid just £7.99 - an absolute bargain. However, being 6ft5, I wouldn't use Flixbus for more than a few hours. If I travel to Scotland (I live 5 miles from Gatwick), I'd definitely fly

    • @Timstravels01
      @Timstravels01  5 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching. I think that’s a fair comment for longer distance journeys, especially at 6ft 5! I’m tempted to try a long-distance coach trip but also a bit apprehensive.
