First Rail Support, part of First Bus, has undergone a rebrand and will be launching its new name and website at this year’s Euro Bus Expo.

The company is now known as First Travel Solutions Limited (FTS) and has a new website, logo and sub brands for its many services.

Along with the new look and website (www.firsttravelsolutions.co.uk) FTS will also launch a new service to offer driver license checks to any business.

Andy Scholey, Managing Director for FTS, said: “The driver licence checks is a great new service we’re now offering to the industry.

“With a direct link to the DVLA, we can verify and check driver licences quickly and accurately. We’ve already checked more than 15,000 bus drivers for FirstGroup’s Bus division.

“Customers benefit from an online report which allows them to track progress and set up alerts for categories such as penalty points, convictions, photo card expiry and medical renewal requirements.

“Most people within the industry will know us as First Rail Support but of course we do so much more than just rail replacement now. We’ve provided transport for the Rugby World Cup and Leeds Music Festival, for example, and we work with a diverse range of clients including easyJet for crew and passenger movements.

“The new name perfectly illustrates our approach – we provide travel solutions individually tailored to every client.”

FTS will be exhibiting on Stand B38 at Euro Bus Expo.
