In 2010, Lux Express left the Eurolines network.[3]

In April 2019, the Eurolines operating businesses in France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic and Spain, and the Isilines brand, all of which were formerly owned by Veolia Transport and later Transdev, were acquired by Flixbus.[6]
In July 2020, Eurolines operators in France were placed into compulsory liquidation by a French court.[7]
