Traindrive: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Following ringing around for LGV training I was very disappointed by the almost unanimous dismissive attitude towards being a young woman wanting to become an LGV driver. However, this was until I spoke with Tony at Traindrive. Tony made me feel entirely comfortable and was incredibly respectful. I am pleased to say that I am booked in and am very much looking forward to becoming qualified via Traindrive.

Fantastic experience: Booked my driving test with traindrive after failing twice with another company. On arrival i met my trainer Tony. Tony took the time to make me feel at ease and get to know you on a personal level which made the training over the three days so much easier. Tony was professional and helpful the whole time and would use his own experiences to explain any manoeuvres or situation that i was doing. The level off training was amazing. I passed my class 2 and cpc first time with Tony, because i passed ive just accepted my first job because off Tony aswell. I cant thank Tony enough for what he did for me, he is a credit to the traindrive training company and hope to see him soon again with the next task off getting my class 1.

Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to everyone at Traindrive for helping me to gain my Class C licence at the first attempt. Special mention to Matt for all his time and advice and to Tony for helping me through all the extra bits, and to both of you for being a total font of knowledge on LGV driving! I'd completely recommend this company if you are anywhere near the South East of England. The trucks are top-notch, in excellent spotless condition, and you only have to compare them to some of the other vehicles you see around being used by other companies to know that you'll be spending your hard-earned cash wisely if you opt to go here for your training. Highly recommended!

From contacting traindrive to book me in to the actual training has been a 10/10 experience and value for money. Managed to get my category C licence with the legendary barry lol hoping to repeat success with my category C+E later in the year with traindrive.
Fantastic experience: Lovely company with lovely people. Very nervous during my first test so unfortunately failed, but the team quickly booked me a second test and passed with flying colours. Both instructors I had were very lovely, helped me stay calm during my retest. My only minor issue was the lessons starting 15-30 minutes late while the truck yard was set up. Other than that, great company. Recommend, 5 stars.
