What are you doing this year? Train again?
How much were/are the train tickets? And do the buses take me direct to Silverstone, or a lot of walking? I might be doing this on my own 
Well sadly the train tickets will be alot dearer now than they could have been. The best thing to do is check the Virgin website and buy your tickets. Or here:

I'll be driving this year, last year I had only got my license so had the train tickets already booked etc.
If you get to the BUs station (which is in this shopping centre in Northampton) they do.
Here's the information from the Northants Stagecoach site:
