LOW cost coach operator Megabus.com is now operating routes from Cirencester to London.

The company – part of international transport group Stagecoach – had partnered with South Gloucestershire Bus and Coach Company Ltd to deliver a total of five new routes across the midlands and south west of England.

The new routes, offering direct links to Heathrow or Gatwick from 13 towns and cities, launched on May 1.

Roger Durbin, South Gloucestershire Bus and Coach Company Ltd managing director, said: “We are delighted to be joining forces with megabus.com.

“We have watched megabus.com grow and develop for a number of years and very much look forward to working in partnership with them to provide a top class service on these routes.”

Passengers can get the coach from outside the Beeches Car Park.
