Getting to the test in Bristol
Bristol Temple Meads is the main station, with Bristol Parkway to the north for services to Wales and the Midlands. The city is hilly and its centre congested, so allow extra time however you travel.
We publish no centre addresses or opening hours, here or anywhere on this site. The list changes, and a stale address costs someone a £50 appointment. Your postcode on the official service returns the centres you can actually book.
