First Travel Solutions (FTS) has announced the success of 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 seven locations including Hinton Airfield, Turweston Airfield, Milton Keynes Station, Towcester, Bicester Heritage, Oxford Parkway and Buckingham to the iconic Silverstone circuit.
It navigated extreme heat, downpours and last-minute changes with record-breaking attendance and logistical complexity.
FTS deployed a high-frequency shuttle service supported by a robust team of ground staff and real-time event control. We ensured smooth pick-ups, short wait times, and safe returns, even when the heavens opened or traffic bottlenecks appeared.
The scale of the operation, combined with unpredictable weather and live operational challenges, demanded extraordinary teamwork and agility.
“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.
