Old guy newbie looking for some honest opinions

I’ve just turned 50, started to think about my HGV two yrs ago and did my medical and filled out the forms, sent my license away to DVLA and got the c & ce categories added to it.

I’ve been caught up with trying to complete renovations on this house (time consuming and a never ending money pit) as going to be moving back to South Wales (currently in n.e. England) and if I’m honest DOUBT regarding my age and if I’m too old, but after joining and reading through this forum and speaking to HGV drivers face to face it’s been encouraging (so this yrs goal is the class 1 & 2 for me).

After 21 yrs working in the railway industry (and with them replacing jobs with software/hardware) I could have 17 yrs in the haulage industry is my method of thinking… so in your regards Rik I’d say you have the advantage of experience mate and you’ll fall back into it in no time at all once you’re driving again so it’s a no brainer for me, go for gold l
