Why Choose HGVTH Eastbourne?
Eastbourne and the surrounding East Sussex coast maintain an active local transport and distribution economy. Linked by the A22 and A27 routes, the area relies on commercial road transport for building trade supplies, food and beverage distribution, and retail logistics across Hailsham and Polegate. Coastal tourism and regional school contracts also sustain consistent demand for PCV bus and coach drivers throughout the year. Depending on where you live and which licence you need, you train either at our Kent training centre in Sittingbourne on our own full-size DAF and Scania vehicles, or with an approved partner school closer to you. Our Kent centre is about 83 minutes from Eastbourne by car outside rush hour. We confirm your training centre, test centre, dates, and full price in writing before you pay anything, with your D4 medical arranged locally.
