Of the 243 operational test centres, Bradford (Thornbury), Bolton (Manchester), Hamilton, Hendon (London) and Glasgow (Shieldhall) had the longest average delays (nearly 6 months). By contrast, Cardigan and Carmarthen has the shortest (1 month).
By travelling further, candidates can dramatically shorten these times: learner drivers in Bolton, for instance, might reduce their waiting period from six months to 2.5 if they book 16 miles away in Sale or Rochdale. Those in London prepared to travel 6.6 miles from Hendon (23.1 week wait) to Barnet (13.1 weeks) could save 10 weeks. Averages in Birmingham (18.9 weeks) shrink to 10.8 and 7.7 weeks in Nuneaton and Stafford respectively (only 30 miles away). Learners living in Liverpool can expect to wait 18.4 weeks but centres less than 10 miles away in Upton and Wallasey can offer less than 11 weeks. Other instances north of the border include lengthy waits, such as 18.8 weeks in Edinburgh, but are much shorter in Kirkaldy and Galashiels (12.3 and 10.4 weeks, respectively). And while the average delay in Glasgow is 22.3 weeks, it is only 7.7 weeks in Ayr.
