Getting to the test in Swansea
Swansea station is north of the centre, with trains to Cardiff, London and west to Carmarthen and Pembrokeshire. The M4 ends just past the city, so roads west of Swansea are slower.
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.
