The new test centres...

[RizzoTheRat]

Sidebar in a magazine reckoned only 17 of the 50 planned new test centres will be open in time. Anyone seen a list of where they'll be, can't see anything on the directgov website. The girlfiend's got her CBT in a couple of weeks and had no hope of a course before the change date so I'd be interested to see how far she'll have to go to do the test.

Well there will be one in farnborough near the airfield, whether or not it will be finished is another matter.

There's going to be one in Hardwick on the outskirts of Cambridge too. From what I've seen it looks like being ready on time.

The distance to the test centre was fairly irrelevant for me..

I live in kidderminster
I did the DAS course based at mallory park
and the test in nuneaton !!!!

so there would probably be no real change for me if i did it now in that respect..


I did spend over 100 quid in diesel just getting there and back in the car mind !!!!

That's convenient, I'll make sure she asks the bods running the CBT as they should know about it. In fact they run the CBT's at an old army camp just south of the airfield, could be that's the venue.

The one in Swindon is ready although the council still hadn't given the consent for the access road to commence.
