Can I still book CBT or motorcycle lessons through Newcastle Rider Training?

Updated

No. Newcastle Rider Training has closed down, so you cannot book a CBT, motorcycle test, refresher or advanced rider training through motorcycletraining.net. The site states the business retired in July 2023 after 32 years, and the listed phone number no longer accepts calls. The Facebook and Twitter links no longer work either. Email is the only contact channel the site still mentions.

What the site tells you

The homepage is now a closure notice rather than a booking page. Key points from it:

  • Status: Closed permanently; the operator retired in July 2023.
  • Phone: 0191 264 5848 is listed but no longer accepting calls.
  • Social media: Facebook and Twitter links are inactive.
  • Email: [email protected] is the remaining contact route.
  • Alternatives: The site explicitly asks people not to request recommendations for other training companies. It suggests asking around, looking online and reading reviews instead.

So if your goal is to start or continue training in the Newcastle area, this website cannot help you book it. The domain itself is described on the page as available for sale to the right offer, which reinforces that no training business is operating behind it.

What to do instead

Since the site gives no replacement provider, you will need to find a current training school yourself. The closure notice's own advice — ask around, search online, read reviews — is a reasonable starting method. When comparing schools, check the same things you would have checked here:

  • Whether they offer the specific course you need (CBT, full test training, refresher or advanced).
  • Whether they are currently taking bookings and how you contact them.
  • What recent riders say about them in reviews.

If you need to reach the former business

Email is the only channel the page still points to. Do not rely on the phone number or social links. The site also makes clear it will not recommend alternative trainers, so an email is unlikely to produce a referral — treat it as a route for other enquiries only.

In short: motorcycletraining.net is now a closure notice for a retired Newcastle training school, not a live booking service. Plan your CBT or lessons with a currently operating provider.
