Silverstone success for FTS

Ground transport management company, First Travel Solutions (FTS), reports an ‘overwhelming success’ for its transport operations at the 2025 Silverstone Grand Prix.

Over the three-day race weekend, FTS safely and efficiently transported more than 83,000 attendees from Hinton Airfield, Turweston Airfield, Milton Keynes Station, Towcester, Bicester Heritage, Oxford Parkway and Buckingham to the Silverstone circuit, navigating extreme heat, downpours and last-minute changes. FTS deployed a high-frequency shuttle service supported by a team of ground staff and real-time event control.

“The scale of the operation, combined with unpredictable weather and live operational challenges, demanded extraordinary teamwork and agility” – Andy Scholey, Managing Director at First Travel Solutions

“This was one of the most demanding events we’ve ever managed – but also one of the most rewarding,” said Andy Scholey, Managing Director at First Travel Solutions. “Hearing directly from customers on the ground was incredibly gratifying. Many commented they had never seen the shuttles run so smoothly. One couple even told us that ‘the Milton Keynes shuttle service was the highlight of their day.’

“The scale of the operation, combined with unpredictable weather and live operational challenges, demanded extraordinary teamwork and agility. I’m incredibly proud of how the entire team rose to the occasion and delivered such a seamless experience for passengers.”
