Well the news has it that Trowbridge Test Centre will re open for car testing, but not bikes. There's been a campaign since it's closure in 2008 to get it re opened, and it seems it's been successful. Having said that, it won't be at the original site on Wiltshire Drive, but at the Longfield Community Centre. New test routes are being trialled, with a view to it opening on a part-time basis initially. Expect to see testing commence around October/November this year... ::)

Good news for young trobos! I remember the days of being told "just pray you don't get Carol Fricker if you're a bloke". Needless to say I got her and failed :p

I remember a bloke called "Mr Holbrow" who everyone who took their tests in Ashton St would pray to avoid. ;D

All they need to do now is bring back bike testing to Trowbridge!

is that to also test for Polish and druggies? don't we have enough in Bristol???!! oops, forgot Somalians!! Maybe too many people have asked if running the examiner over (no one specific of course) could be included at the BMPTC!! ;D ;D Seriously, it's good news that at least drivers don't have to travel so far for their test. Keep the hard work up for bikes too!

Hey Simon, if you're doing Longfield you might wanna lock your doors. And don't sit still too long, they'll have your wheels off... ;D

They can't use the old test centre as our office is relocating there before August 1st ;D

Should be cozy as the dentist is staying put! :o

Mate I don't think even the residents of longfield are desperate enough to pinch the wheels off our trucks, besides the state the lorries are in they would probably fall apart anyway :P :P
