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.
@Timstravels01 I'm sad you get hassle!

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.
It’s excellent value for money. I drive up and down the A9 a fair bit so it was nice to be able to enjoy more of the scenery than normal. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words.
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 😊😊
Thank you for watching, subscribing and for such kind words. I’m very fortunate to live in the Scottish Highlands, so much beautiful scenery to enjoy. I’d highly recommend FlixBus, a very cost effective way of travelling around Scotland.
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! Looks great. I may well be using them next time I'm up your way 👍
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
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.
Great video Tim. I just did Flixbus recently between Bristol and London: Really enjoyed. Doing Megabus between Inverness and Glasgow in a couple of weeks and looking forward to comparing the two
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.
wow t-shirt weather... can't believe the sun made it to the UK, finally... I can guarantee if you didn't book your seat the service would have been full, that's the luck I have every time 🤣🤣 You can't go wrong with a fare of £8 for that distance covered! Great, super smashing video as always Tim!
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
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.

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!
@Timstravels01 I'm sad you get hassle!

Steve, as I know you're all friendly, maybe do a Scott (planestrains&everything) vs Steve vs Tim challenge. That'd be epic
I was the driver! Great video glad you enjoyed your trip with us ❤️
It was fab. The driver was great! 😀
@@Timstravels01 glad you thought I did good! Thanks for the review we appreciate it! -Flixbus 💚
@LifeWithBrandonofficial credit where credit is due.
Love how your top matches the sky, understated genius.
I don’t like to draw attention to my genius, thanks for noticing.
Watching you from Kenya 🇰🇪
Hello! Thanks so much for watching.
15:54 Scottish Citylink overtook FlixBus, cool😮).
I enjoyed that! Thanks for watching.
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.
Thanks for watching. I was amazed by the number of coaches running up and down the A9. I didn't think there was such demand, but clearly there is.
That’s a nice run for a great price. And very brave doing that coach toilet tour (it was clean…most important).
It’s excellent value for money. I drive up and down the A9 a fair bit so it was nice to be able to enjoy more of the scenery than normal. Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words.

Love the music over the A9 , Tim its a Coach , NOT a bus 😂😂😂
Lesson learned! 😂😂😂
Flixbus coach😮
😁👍

Looks great. I may well be using them next time I'm up your way 👍
Thanks Johnny. You're right, the clue is in the name! I hope you'll be up this direction soon.

Thanks for that, I really appreciate it. I was very impressed with FlixBus so I suppose I need to try Megabus!
@@Timstravels01Will let you know how I found them!
Great video Tim looks very comfortable
Thanks for watching. I was very impressed. I'd say in general I'd look to take the train but this experience has made me think twice for future trips.

You can't go wrong with a fare of £8 for that distance covered! Great, super smashing video as always Tim!
I photoshopped the blue sky. 🤣🤣🤣 you’re absolutely right, that price is incredible value. Thanks for watching mate, I really appreciate your support.
Nice!

Nice one, can't beat those prices (but will they rise once customer levels increase to match the competition?) And certainly can't beat those views!
Great video.
Minor error in the description, which says you did the trip in May 2023 not 2024
Oh thank you so much. I've changed that now.
You couldn't make it up.
I really do.
🤣
Bus time is better than the train in this route...and cheaper.
10:29 10:48 Why am I hearing some Filipino-language dude?
I think he was on the phone for most of the journey.
