Test centre address: Unit 11, Trinity Enterprise Centre, Ironworks Road, Furness Business Park, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria LA14 2PN
Barrow's driving test centre is at the Trinity Enterprise Centre on Ironworks Road, on the business park by the docks. Learners come from Barrow, Walney, Dalton-in-Furness, Askam, Ulverston, Millom and Grange-over-Sands.
It's a small centre, with 1,699 car tests taken there in a year, and one of the best in the country to pass at: 69.6%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is one of the shortest in the country, about 10.4 weeks booking on your own. Kendal is the nearest other centre by road, about 24 miles. Heysham looks close on the map but is across Morecambe Bay, about 50 miles round by road.
How long is the wait at Barrow driving test centre?
If you book at Barrow on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 10.4 weeks away. That's shorter than at most test centres, where it's around 23.4 weeks.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
See how that compares with the wait at every test centre in the country.
