Getting to the test in Londonderry

The railway line runs along the coast to Coleraine and on to Belfast, taking a little over two hours. The A6 is the main road to Belfast and is usually the quicker way across.

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.
