OPTION 1 / MANUAL TUITION · UB7, UB8 & TW6
Manual driving lessons (UB7, UB8 & TW6)
Manual candidates at the Uxbridge centre passed 53.3% in 2025/26. West Drayton learners build clutch control on Garden City streets before Falling Lane and the A408, and a manual licence covers automatics as well.
Automatic is £38/hr too, £35.90/hr across 40 hours. On Holloway Lane, Sipson Road and the station bus stops, no clutch means more attention for hazards. The automatic rate at Uxbridge was 50.3%.
Holding a Trade City test date? Six to twelve hours a week through Yiewsley, Sipson and Harmondsworth, finishing with mock runs up the A408 to Cowley Mill Road.
For full licence holders: two-hour refreshers or 6-module Pass Plus on the A4 Bath Road past Sipson and Harmondsworth, the Colnbrook Bypass and some night-time driving.
