EnglishWhat is motorcycletraining.net and is Newcastle Rider Training still operating?
Updated
motorcycletraining.net was the website of Newcastle Rider Training, a motorcycle and scooter training provider in Newcastle upon Tyne, and it is no longer an operating business. The site itself states that the school closed in July 2023 after 32 years, so the phone number, Facebook and Twitter links no longer work. If you arrived here looking to book a CBT or motorcycle test, you cannot do so through this site.
What the site was
Newcastle Rider Training described itself as offering:
- CBT (compulsory basic training) for motorcycles and scooters
- Motorcycle test preparation
- Refresher training for returning riders
- Advanced rider training
The site says more than 13,500 customers used its services over the years. That history explains why the domain still appears in search results and links even though the business has stopped trading.
Current status of the site and contact details
| Item | Status according to the site |
|---|---|
| Business | Closed July 2023 after 32 years |
| Phone (0191 264 5848) | No longer accepting calls |
| Facebook and Twitter links | No longer work |
| Email ([email protected]) | Still usable for contact |
| Domain motorcycletraining.net | Owner says it could be sold for the right offer |
The site also asks visitors not to email asking for a recommendation of another training company. Its own advice is to ask around, search online, read reviews and decide from that.
What this means if you want motorcycle training
You need a different provider. The site gives no replacement, no transfer of bookings and no recommended alternatives, so treat any booking enquiry to this domain as unlikely to lead to training.
A practical approach when choosing a school in the Newcastle area:
- Search for current CBT and motorcycle test providers near you and check that the business is actively trading (recent reviews, working phone number, current course dates).
- Confirm the school is approved to deliver CBT and the tests you need, and ask what is included in the price.
- Read recent rider reviews rather than old directory listings, since this site shows how long a closed school's page can stay online.
- Contact the school directly by phone or its own booking system before travelling.
The email address on the site is the only channel the owner says still works, and it is for contact about the site itself rather than training bookings.
Bottom line
motorcycletraining.net is the legacy site of Newcastle Rider Training, which closed in July 2023. It is useful only as a historical record; for CBT, test preparation or refresher and advanced training, you will need to find and verify a currently operating school.
