About this test centre

Where do you actually take your hgv/lgv test if you book Boston LGV Training (Marsh Lane)? You start in Haven Village, Greater Lincolnshire (PE21 8TS), and the examiner takes you through whatever mix of urban and outlying roads sits within a roughly twenty-minute drive of the centre. Volume here sits at 3.2K over 2017-18-2024-25. That's the territory where a noisy quarter can shift the rate by two or three percentage points, so read the trend chart in context rather than reacting to any single bar.
