Transport Made Simple partners with FlixBus UK for network expansion

Transport Made Simple (TMS) has joined FlixBus UK’s network, adding five Yutong GT12 coaches to its long-distance service. The first routes under this partnership will launch in mid-April.

TMS, formerly known as Vectare, has grown significantly since its 2016 launch and now operates a fleet of 200 vehicles. The company will manage the new FlixBus services from its Nottingham depot under the Central Connect division. It also runs school and local bus routes in the East Midlands, Essex, and Hertfordshire.

The partnership aligns with TMS’s strategy of integrating coach and bus services into a broader multimodal transport system. It also follows TMS Group’s recent acquisition of Simonds, a Norfolk-based coach operator with a 96-year history.
