Low-cost intercity coach service FlixBus has announced an exciting new travel option that'll get you sunbathing by the shore - and it won't cost the earth.
Passengers can be transported from London to the sought-after holiday destination for just £4.49.
The budget coach operator has launched a twice-daily route from London to Brighton - along with free wi-fi and charging ports.
Andreas Schorling, senior managing director of FlixBus UK, said: "Londoners now have even more affordable, sustainable and reliable travel options for weekend getaways, airport connections and visiting friends and family this summer.
"Brighton is an iconic British destination and we're excited to offer a direct route from the capital just in time for the warmer months."
He continued: 'Brighton is such a vibrant, inclusive city, especially during the summer, and we can't wait to offer passengers the chance to visit for the first time on our network.
'The people of Brighton will now have a fantastic service to central London, Cambridge and Gatwick. Known for its dedication to sustainability, it's a perfect match for FlixBus.'
The London to Brighton route will stop at both Gatwick Terminals on route.
The company now serves more than 80 UK destinations including the recent additions of Bournemouth, Newquay and Truro.
Tickets are available at flixbus.co.uk or through the FlixBus app.
The UK's best beach bar – with DJ sets, sunset views and signature cocktails
The three mile Brighton Blue Flag beach is full of pebbles - but that doesn't deter visitors.
Tripadvisor recently revealed their top beaches in Europe - with some in the UK making the cut.
The world's largest travel guidance platform has announced its 'Best of Beaches for 2025' sorted purely by review data.
While the UK didn't bag the top spot, three of our beautiful beaches made it onto the list.
Weymouth Beach in Dorset is a firm favourite and for its fourth year in a row has cemented a spot on the list, this time in twentieth place.
The sandy beach at Gorleston-on-Sea, in Norfolk, has come in at number 23.
The beach in Norfolk stretches for three miles and is considered to be quieter than the famous Great Yarmouth beach which is two miles up the road.
Also found in Dorset, Bournemouth Beach spans over seven-miles and the promenade is lined with Instagrammable multi-coloured beach huts.
Bournemouth also has its own pier with an arcade and theatre, as well as an indoor rock climbing wall and a zip line that launches from a tower 25 metres above the sea.

Digital sovereignty should sit at the core of the UK's AI strategy
Image by Shutterstock With the Prime Minister's AI Opportunities Action Plan, the UK government pledged to turbocharge the economy by infusing AI throughout the public sector. From hospitals leveraging AI for faster diagnoses to public sector teams freed from administrative drudgery, the goal is to use AI as the engine of British progress. But as the government throws its weight behind this technological revolution, several crucial questions arise: who owns and controls the digital foundations upon which our AI-powered future will be built? What tools, platforms and companies make up the digital supply chains of public and private sector services? And how can we ensure that homegrown innovations in AI are scalable? Ultimately, the challenge lies in establishing 'digital sovereignty' – ensuring the UK can secure and govern the foundations of its AI-driven future. In times of global unrest and economic uncertainty, digital sovereignty is a necessity, not a luxury. It means the UK retaining control over its critical technological infrastructure, data and algorithms. It's about ensuring that the tools underpinning our public services and industries are not black boxes managed from afar, but transparent, accountable systems shaped by our values. The risks of dependency are real. Over-reliance on foreign-owned platforms can expose our institutions to security vulnerabilities, regulatory misalignment and loss of control over sensitive data. And yet, pragmatism will need to be practised. Technological supply chains will undoubtedly cross international lines. Achieving digital sovereignty, therefore, requires a balanced approach: ensuring transparency so the public can understand these supply chains, prioritising domestic and European technology solutions, and working with a carefully vetted group of international partners. This approach will also help the UK tackle one of its biggest challenges with AI: scaling projects from proofs of concept to delivering value more quickly and widely. Digital sovereignty empowers the UK to set its own standards, foster innovation within a trusted ecosystem and maintain control over the process of moving AI projects from concept to widespread implementation. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe With this in mind, consider Humphrey, the UK government's new AI assistant, which is being trialled in 25 local authorities to streamline administrative tasks such as planning, archive searches and transcription. Early results are promising. Government pilots found that Humphrey's 'Minute' notetaking tool saved officials an hour of admin for every 60-minute meeting, freeing staff to focus on higher-value work and improving morale. Other components, like 'Consult', can analyse thousands of public consultation responses far faster than human teams, with comparable accuracy and significant projected cost savings across the civil service. If the platform can continue to deliver such results as its adoption scales, Humphrey may serve as a valuable case study for public-sector AI implementation. At the same time, with increasing attention on how governments manage and govern AI tools, providing clear information about the platform's technical underpinnings – from the large language models powering it to its hosting setup – will help build confidence and set standards for future initiatives. Digital sovereignty fits into a wider framework of responsible digitalisation – a guiding principle for Netcompany. It means deploying technology in ways that are ethical, transparent and aligned with societal needs. Our experience delivering large-scale digital projects across the UK and European public sector has shown that responsible digitalisation is not only possible but essential for building trust and ensuring long-term impact. Whether deploying a digital patient registration service used by 98 per cent of English GPs or developing an AI-powered delay prediction tool for rail networks across Europe, we let our customers take control of their processes and data, foster collaboration and commit to re-using technologies, never developing the same tools twice. The same goes for the EASLEY AI platform. Developed by Netcompany, EASLEY is a secure, model-independent generative AI solution for both public and private sector organisations. Unlike many off-the-shelf AI products, EASLEY puts data privacy and organisational control at its core. It integrates seamlessly with existing systems, allowing clients to switch between AI models as technology evolves – without relinquishing control over their data or processes. In practice, this means a local authority can automate document processing or improve citizen services with confidence, knowing their data never leaves UK or European jurisdiction. Legacy IT systems are silent saboteurs of digital progress. Across the UK and Europe, outdated infrastructure drains budgets and stifles innovation, with up to 80 per cent of IT budgets spent just keeping these obsolete systems running – resources that could otherwise fund better digital services, innovation and security. In June 2025, we announced Feniks AI, a pioneering tool that accelerates the transition from legacy systems to modern, open architectures – cutting delivery times by up to 60 per cent. In short, what once took years can now be completed in months. The tool has already delivered promising results in three large-scale public sector projects in Denmark, and we look forward to bringing it to the UK. Feniks AI is built on Netcompany's unique methodology and platforms, developed through 25 years of experience delivering large-scale, business-critical projects across the public and private sectors in Europe. By embracing such solutions, we can help our customers break free from decades of digital debt and lay the foundations for a more innovative and secure future. As the UK charts its course towards an AI-powered future, cross-sector collaboration is key to delivering digital transformation at scale. Partnerships focused on transparency, scalability and pragmatic digital sovereignty will best position the UK to become a leader in the development and deployment of AI. In doing so, we can shape a digital landscape that is not only world-leading but also serves the needs and aspirations of our citizens. Related

La Perla facing the abyss: Insight into the lingerie brand's takeover and ongoing administration
La Perla, the iconic Italian luxury lingerie brand, was facing a critical period. Years of economic difficulties had undermined its foundations and although a recent business move offered a potential turning point, recovery was not guaranteed. In summary US businessman Peter Kern acquired La Perla's key assets, including its production plant in Bologna, with an investment of 30 million euros until 2027. Kern's acquisition sought to reactivate production in Bologna, protect jobs and expand into priority markets such as China and the United Arab Emirates. La Perla's Spanish subsidiaries are in administration with debts of 51 million euros, reflecting the collapse of its British parent company. On June 10, 2025, US businessman Peter Kern, known for his role as chief executive officer of Expedia and his involvement in the Italian wine sector, acquired the brand's key assets, including its production plant in Bologna. This transaction was announced by the Italian Minister of Industry, Adolfo Urso, who stressed that Kern's offer, which competed with other interested parties such as Oniverse (formerly Calzedonia), was "the most favourable for relaunching the historic luxury lingerie firm". According to Reuters, Kern committed to investing approximately 30 million euros until 2027, with the aim of maintaining 210 existing jobs and creating around 40 new jobs. However, despite this boost, the accumulated financial difficulties have continued to affect La Perla in other markets, especially in Spain. Ongoing administration process The company's Spanish subsidiaries, La Perla Fashion España and La Perla Store España, were declared to be in administration by the Mercantile Court Number 10 of Barcelona, accumulating debts totalling 51 million euros. This situation was directly related to the collapse of its British parent company, La Perla Global Management, which filed for administration the previous year. Today, La Perla's footprint in Spain is barely traceable. The firm maintains only two points of sale — a boutique on Paseo de Gràcia in Barcelona and a space in El Corte Inglés de Castellana, in Madrid — in addition to the 42 points of sale in the rest of the world. A map that is far from the one drawn in its prime, at which time it operated up to 10 stores spread across the country. Anatomy of a downfall Founded in 1956 by Ada Masotti, La Perla was for decades synonymous with Italian refinement. However, the firm had experienced a prolonged decline in recent years, accentuated by successive changes of ownership. The most recent, under the management of Tennor Holding — the investment vehicle of German businessman Lars Windhorst — aggravated the crisis due to the lack of funding, paralysing much of the business globally. The consequences were particularly serious for operations in the UK, Italy and Spain. La Perla's complex business structure — which included entities such as La Perla Global Management UK, owner of the brand, and La Perla Fashion Holding, based in the Netherlands — began to crumble as the crisis progressed. At the end of 2023, the British subsidiary went into liquidation and, at the same time, the Bologna plant was placed under judicial intervention in Italy under the extraordinary administration regime. Kern takes over The arrival of Peter Kern represented a kind of respite from a possible final dissolution. Through his private investment firm, he acquired the Bologna production plant and the rights to the brand for around 25 million euros, also committing to an investment of 30 million until 2027 to reactivate industrial activity and preserve jobs. The plan envisaged restoring production in Bologna, protecting more than 200 jobs and analysing the possible integration of other international subsidiaries under a new structure. Markets such as China and the United Arab Emirates were identified as priorities for this stage, but there was still no confirmation on the inclusion of Spain in this strategy.
