Driving Theory Test Centres in Middlesbrough

Arriving at Middlesbrough Theory Test Centre

By public transport

The Middlesbrough theory test centre is ideally located for anyone commuting by train or bus. In terms of the former, Middlesbrough railway station is a 16-minute walk away.

If you’re taking the bus instead, you’ll be pleased to learn that the theory test centre happens to be just a hop, skip and a jump (or 1-minute walk) from the The Swatters Carr bus stop.

For more detailed information on Middlesbrough’s transport links you can always consult the Middlesbrough Council website.

By car

Of course, if public transport is something you prefer to avoid, you could always try and catch a lift to the test centre by car. Whether you’re taking a taxi or you’ve found a friend or family member nice enough to be your chauffeur, get them to enter TS1 4AT into a sat nav and hit the road!

Parking

Unlike a majority of theory test centres, the Middlesbrough branch has some parking options right outside. There’s also a significant number of cheap parking options. The only issue those arriving by car may encounter is that spaces are somewhat limited.

The closest place to park is Wilton Street which is a 3-minute walk to the test centre. There are only 14 spaces available though, so it's likely the car park will be full. If that's the case, head to Amber Street car park which has 88 spaces available and is a 10-minute walk away.

Pass Rates by Year

Now, the pass rates for Middlesbrough theory test centre are where some people may start to get put off. As you can see, they’ve been in decline for the last 5 years. While this doesn’t look great on the surface, it’s actually not that big of a deal. Given that the theory test is the same all over the country, local pass rates don’t necessarily have any major implications for individual learners. Your performance is down to you, not the test centre.

Guides and Tips

Preparing for the theory test involves quite a bit of studying (if you do it probably), so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to learn the format and material. If you need any extra help it’s definitely worth investing in some revision aids and guides. We’ve listed a few useful ones below.
