Where do Falkirk riders do their motorcycle training?
From Falkirk, Grangemouth or Polmont the M9 runs east towards Edinburgh, joins the M8, and the bypass takes you round to the Straiton junction. It is motorway and dual carriageway almost door to door.
If you are weighing up the trip, these are the facts. Groups are never more than 2 students to 1 instructor. A CBT includes up to 12 hours of training, so a second session costs nothing extra. Direct Access runs to a set pattern with most training on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
How do I get to the training yard from Falkirk?
From Falkirk, take the M9 east and the M8 to Hermiston Gait, then the A720 bypass to Straiton. It is about 29 miles and takes about 45 minutes by car in normal traffic outside rush hour. The yard is Yard 15 in the Clippens industrial estate, opposite Straiton retail park, and there is parking on site.
Address: Edinburgh Motorcycle Training, 15 Clippens Yard, Straiton, EH20 9NS. Open in Google Maps.
