Test centre address: Office 106, Lancaster Training Services, 5 Penrod Way, Heysham, Morecambe LA3 2UZ
Heysham's driving test centre is at Lancaster Training Services on Penrod Way, on the port business estate near Half Moon Bay. It's the test centre for Lancaster and Morecambe, which have none of their own, and learners come from Lancaster, Morecambe, Heysham, Carnforth, Garstang and Kirkby Lonsdale.
3,692 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the better centres to pass at: 59.2%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 17.2 weeks booking on your own. Blackpool and Preston are each about 20 miles away. Barrow looks close on the map but is across Morecambe Bay.
How long is the wait at Heysham driving test centre?
If you book at Heysham on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 17.2 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.
